Speaking of Saturn...

"Cassini looked toward the night side of Saturn to spy the darkened orb of Mimas barely visible here near the center of the image hugging the planet's shadow. To the left of Mimas are several bright features in the faint D ring.
"Mimas, the innermost of Saturn's medium-sized icy moons, is 397 kilometers (247 miles) across.
"The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 7, 2006, at a distance of approximately 3.9 million kilometers (2.4 million miles) from Mimas and 4 million kilometers (2.5 million miles) from Saturn."
