Caption NASA:"Gray Mimas appears to hover above the colorful Rings. The large crater seen on the right side of the moon is named for William Herschel, who discovered Mimas in 1789.
The image was taken using red, green and blue spectral filters; it was acquired with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 9, 2007 at a distance of approx. 3,1 MKM (such as about 1,9 MMs) from Mimas and at a Sun-Mimas-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 34°. Image scale is roughly 19 Km (about 12 miles) per pixel".
