"That's no space station..."

Here is a decent shot of Mimas, nothing like this picture is on the raw imaging site sadly.

It still freaks me out that the Death Star looks almost exactly like Mimas when Lucas et al didn't have a clue what it looked like when they made Star Wars. The Herschel crater is about the same size relative to Mimas as the 'gun crater' is to the Deathstar

Every book I have on planetary science makes reference to the similarity. This probably makes the Death Star the science fiction image most used in mainstream science texts.

I wonder if Uncle George is charging them for it?
