Mimas, satellite of Saturn, seen by the Cassini probe on 13/02/2010 - Saturn's moon Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft - February 13 2010 - The Mimas satellite seen in false colours by the Cassini probe on 13 February 2010 has a distance of 16,000 km from the satellite. Color differences reveal differences in terrain nature. Mimas is about 400 km in diameter. At the right centre is the large impact crater Herschel, 130 km wide. Subtle color differences on Saturn's moon Mimas are apparent in this false - color view of Herschel Crater captured by Nasa's Cassini spacecraft during its closest - ever flyby of that moon. The image shows terrain - dependent color variations, particularly the contrast between the bluish materials in and around Herschel Crater (130 kilometers, or 80 miles, wide) and the greenish cast on older, more heavily cratered terrain elsewhere. The origin of the color differences is not yet understood, but may be caused by subtle differences in the surface composition between the two terrains. Herschel Crater covers most of the bottom of this image. To create this false - color view, ultraviolet, green and infrared images were combined into a single picture that exaggerates the color differences of terrain on the moon. These data were combined with a high - resolution image taken in visible light to provide the high - resolution information from the clear - filter image and the color information from the ultraviolet, green and infrared filter images. The natural color of Mimas visible to the human eye may be a uniform gray or yellow color, but this mosaic has been contrast - enhanced and shows differences at other wavelengths of light. During its closest - ever flyby on Feb. 13, 2010, Cassini came within about 9,500 kilometers (5,900 miles) of Mimas. This view looks toward the northern part of the hemisphere of Mimas that leads in the moon's orbit around Saturn. Mimas is 396 kilometers (246 miles) across. North on Mimas is up
