Mimas' Map
Original caption:"This map of the surface of Saturn's moon Mimas illustrates the Regions that were imaged by Cassini during the spacecraft's flyby of the moon on Aug. 2, 2005. At closest approach, the spacecraft passed within approx. 62.900 Km above the Moon's surface. The colored lines delineate the Regions that were imaged at differing resolutions. The closest images were obtained near closest approach. Mimas has never been imaged this closely before. The flyby provided the best views yet of the South Pole of Mimas and some of its northern latitudes, as well as distant views of the giant crater Herschel, near the terminator. 
The highest resolution images show the trailing hemisphere of Mimas, opposite Herschel. Several fracture systems have been seen in the region in NASA Voyager images, like Pelion Chasma and Tintagil Chasma. Images obtained from this Cassini encounter may help test whether these canyons and others on Mimas' surface, are related to the formation of Herschel (...)".
