It's just another NASA fake.

Cassini flew just 25,620 miles (41,230 kilometers) from the pockmarked moon Jan. 30, on the spacecraft's seventh and final flyby of the moon. Due to a massive crater on one side, Mimas is known as the "Death Star" moon — but this time, that crater is out of view. (Another recent Cassini photo, from a November flyby, highlights the giant Herschel crater.)
During the flyby, Cassini captured 10 images from about 28,000 miles (45,000 km) away that were combined into a mosaic. More than half the moon was lit only by reflected light from Saturn — one image has that side enhanced, to give a fuller view of the moon, and the other leaves it in shadow. Researchers combined the images from Cassini's narrow-angle camera to create a view like the one an observer would have seen through a powerful telescope, NASA officials said...
... Cassini wraps up its exploration of Saturn's system, begun in 2004. After a series of close flybys of the planet's rings, it will take a final plunge into the planet's atmosphere Sept. 15.

Damn, I can’t get in ahead of anything around here!!! :)
It sure has taken a beating.
[[has been enhanced ]]
Where is the unenhanced version? This version just looks fake, plastic- it’s fine to show the craters and all- but woudl prefer it be shown with the natural photos as well-
It does look like a Death Star.
bfl
It's just another NASA fake.
Most moons have no atmosphere to erode away impact craters, or to burn up even small meteors before they collide. As a result, they tend to be riddled with impact craters unless they are covered in ice. Our moon is about 50 times bigger, so its impact craters don’t seem as large in comparison to itself.
NASA enhances their globalist warming data as well...
It shows how Saturn’s gravitational field has pulled lots of material into this moon. There must be a wealth of minerals on that moon. I wonder if there is gold in those craters?
Yup- there wasn’t any warming for 20 years according to their own satellite data- so what did they do? Yup- the claimed that one of their satellites was ‘off course’ and therefore the readings weren’t ‘accurate’, so they threw those out, and invented new numbers based on what they THOUGHT the temperatures should be- and lo and behold- there was warming-
Talk about freakin dishonest! Their agenda didn’t match the data- so they changed the data to match the agenda
President Trump should read about that- call them into his office, and say “You’re fired!” These liars are trying to cost working class citizens trillions of dollars in totally unnecessary fines and taxes to fix an imaginary problem that they blame on mankind
We used to lock scam artists like that up- now the government gives them billions in grant moneY?
It’s a golf ball.
It's a space station!!!
Freudian slip? :-)
Those are sure nice tits!
Cheers,
