Crescent Mimas (possible natural colors; credits: Lunexit)
|
Caption NASA:"Mimas's lit crescent has the appearance of a golf ball thanks to its heavily cratered surface.
This image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 24, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of IR light centered at 752 nanometers.
The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 189.000 Km (such as about 117.000 miles) from Mimas and at a Phase Angle of 136°.
Image scale is about 1 Km (such as 3707 feet) per pixel".
