Mimas, satellite of Saturn, seen by the Cassini probe on 13/02/2010 - Saturn's moon Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft - February 13 2010 - The Mimas satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on 13 February 2010 has a distance of 16,000 km from the satellite. Mimas is about 400 km in diameter. In the centre left, the large impact crater Herschel, 130 km wide. Relatively dark regions below bright crater walls and streaks on some of the walls are seen in this mosaic of Saturn's moon Mimas, created from images taken by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft during its closest flyby of the moon. The crater floors and surroundings are about 20 percent darker than the steep crater walls in this view. Mimas 'original surface, like the surfaces of most of the other major Saturnian moons without atmospheres, is not pure ice but contains some dark impurities.

Saturn and Mimas seen by the Cassini probe 18/01/2005 - Saturn and Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft Jan. 18 2005 - The Mimas satellite photographed in front of Saturn by the Cassini probe on 18 January 2005 at a distance of 1.4 million km from the planet. The shadow of Saturn's rings is projected on the planet. Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. Saturn's northern hemisphere is presently relatively cloud - free, and rays of sunlight take a long path through the atmosphere. This results in sunlight being scattered at shorter (bluer) wavelengths, thus giving the northernmost latitudes their bluish appearance at visible wavelengths. At the bottom, craters on icy Mimas (398 kilometers, or 247 miles across) give the moon a dimpled appearance. Images taken using infrared (930 nanometers), green (568 nanometers) and ultraviolet (338 nano

Geyser sur Enceladus - Artist's view - Water geyser on Enceladus - Artist's view of an ice geyser on the surface of the Enceladus satellite. In the sky, the planet Saturn and its satellite Mimas. Liquid water reaches the surface of Enceladus' south pole and drives a massive plume of ice crystals into the sky. The combination of Enceladus' low surface gravity and the geyser's force accelerate the crystals to escape velocity, where sunlight breaks the water molecules down into their constituent atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. Saturn itself appears low on the horizon due to the proximity to Enceladus' pole. The small object immediately to Saturn's left is another icy moon named Mimas. Somewhat smaller than Enceladus and closer to Saturn, Mimas sprints around Saturn in slightly less than one Earth day. In March 2006 Nasa's Cassini probe revealed evidence of water - driven geysers on the surface of Enceladus. At first glance Enceladus doesn't seem to be a likely host for liquid water as the s

Mimas, satellite of Saturn, seen by the Cassini probe on 13/02/2010 - Saturn's moon Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft - February 13 2010 - The Mimas satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on 13 February 2010 has a distance of 50,000 km from the satellite. Mimas is about 400 km in diameter. At the right centre is the large impact crater Herschel, 130 km wide. In this view captured by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft on its closest - ever flyby of Saturn's moon Mimas, large Herschel Crater dominates Mimas, making the moon look like the Death Star in the movie “” Star Wars.”” Herschel Crater is 130 kilometers, or 80 miles, wide and covers most of the right of this image. Cassini came within about 9,500 kilometers (5,900 miles) of Mimas on Feb. 13, 2010.This mosaic was created from six images taken that day in visible light with Cassini's narrow - angle camera on Feb. 13, 2010.

Mimas, satellite of Saturn, seen by the Cassini probe on 13/02/2010 - Saturn's moon Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft - February 13 2010 - The Mimas satellite seen in false colours by the Cassini probe on 13 February 2010 has a distance of 16,000 km from the satellite. Color differences reveal differences in terrain nature. Mimas is about 400 km in diameter. At the right centre is the large impact crater Herschel, 130 km wide. Subtle color differences on Saturn's moon Mimas are apparent in this false - color view of Herschel Crater captured by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft during its closest - ever flyby of that moon. The image shows terrain - dependent color variations, particularly the contrast between the bluish materials in and around Herschel Crater (130 kilometers, or 80 miles, wide) and the greenish cast on older, more heavily cratered terrain elsewhere. The origin of the color differences is not yet understood, but may be caused by subtle differences in the surface composition betwe

Mimas, satellite of Saturn, seen by the Cassini probe on 13/02/2010 - Saturn's moon Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft - February 13 2010 - The Mimas satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on 13 February 2010 has a distance of 30,000 km from the satellite. Mimas is about 400 km in diameter. In the centre, the large impact crater Herschel, 130 km wide. This mosaic, created from images taken by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft during its closest flyby of Saturn's moon Mimas, looks straight at the moon's huge Herschel Crater and reveals new insights about the moon's surface. Bright - walled craters, with floors and surroundings about 20 percent darker than the steep crater walls, are notable in this view.

Saturn and satellites seen by the Hubble space telescope - Saturn rings edge - on with satellites - Saturn observed by the Hubble space telescope on February 24, 2009 when the Earth is in the same plane as the rings, seen by the slice.

The largest satellite, Titan, projects its shadow on the planet and three satellites are visible on the left: Mimas and its shadow are discernable on Titan's left, just above the rings, on its left, above the rings, Dione is clearly visible, and on the left, the Enceladus satellite. Several of Saturn's moons transiting the face of the gas giant planet. This is a rare event because the rings are tilted edge on to Earth every 15 years.

Enceladus is the largest satellite on the image, then clockwise we find Dione, Rhea, Titan (top right), Japet, Tethys, and Mimas. This montage of images of the Saturnian system was prepared from an assemblage of images taken by the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts during their Saturn encounter.

Geyser sur Enceladus - Artist view - Water geyser on Enceladus - Artist view - Artist view of an ice geyser on the surface of the Enceladus satellite. In the sky, the planet Saturn and its satellite Mimas. Liquid water reaches the surface of Enceladus' south pole and drives a massive plume of ice crystals into the sky. The combination of Enceladus' low surface gravity and the geyser's force accelerate the crystals to escape velocity, where sunlight breaks the water molecules down into their constituent atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. Saturn itself appears low on the horizon due to the proximity to Enceladus' pole. The small object immediately to Saturn's left is another icy moon named Mimas. Somewhat smaller than Enceladus and closer to Saturn, Mimas sprints around Saturn in slightly less than one Earth day. In March 2006 Nasa's Cassini probe revealed evidence of water - driven geysers on the surface of Enceladus. At first glance Enceladus doesn't seem to be a likely host for liquid wate

Saturn en jour vue par Cassini - Backlit Saturn seen by Cassini - Mosaic of 141 photos obtained by the Cassini probe on 19 July 2013 at a distance of 1.2 million km from the planet. The Cassini probe was then in the shadow of the Planet Saturn; this portrait of the Giant Planet highlights its ring system and seven of its satellites appear in the image. The planets Mars, Venus and Earth are also visible. On July 19, 2013, Nasa's Cassini spacecraft slipped into Saturn's shadow and turned to image the planet, seven of its moons, its inner rings - and, in the background, our home planet, Earth. With both Cassini's wide-angle and narrow-angle cameras aimed at Saturn, Cassini was able to capture 323 images in just over four hours. This final mosaic uses 141 of those wide-angle images. Images taken using the red, green and blue spectral filters of the wide-angle camera were combined and mosaicked together to create this natural-color view. This image spans about 404,880 miles (651,591 kilomet
