First Question in a Long time!


  •      Mimas is a moon of Saturn which was discovered in 1789 by William Herschel. 
  •        Mimas's most distinctive feature is a giant impact crater 130 kilometres (81 mi) across, named Herschel after the discoverer of Mimas.The impact that made this crater must have nearly shattered Mimas: fractures can be seen on the opposite side of Mimas that may have been created by shock waves from the impact travelling through Mimas's body. 
  •        In 2010, NASA revealed a temperature map of Mimas, using images obtained by Cassini. The warmest regions, which are along one edge of Mimas, create a shape similar to _______, with the Herschel Crater assuming the role of an "edible dot" or "power pellet“.
