Calling Hersh or Vader

Just looking though some of the Cassini photographs from the Saturn mission.

What the he11 is this? Supposed to be the moon Mimas but it's the bloody Death Star isn't it?

Explanation please.

"One of the craters, named Herschel, is surprisingly large in comparison to the size of the moon. The crater is 130 kilometers (80 miles) wide, one-third the diameter of Mimas. Herschel is 10 kilometers (6 miles) deep, with a central mountain almost as high as Mount Everest on Earth. This central peak rises 6 kilometers (4 miles) above the crater floor. This impact probably came close to disintegrating the moon. Traces of fracture marks can be seen on the opposite side of Mimas."

UC that is just mumbo jumbo....science crap.

I'll let you guys in on a secret...EA is onto something....

"That's not a moon, its a space station"

No worries though, it is only a prototype and not fully functional yet.

Nice find EA....obviously obscurity for this project has failed.
