NASA images of Saturn's moon Mimas reveal unusual patterns

The highest-resolution-yet temperature map and images show Saturn's icy moon, Mimas, obtained by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, reveals surprising patterns on the surface of the small moon, including unexpected hot regions that resemble 'Pac-Man' eating a dot, and striking bands of light and dark in crater walls. The left portion of the image shows Mimas in visible light, an image that has drawn comparisons to the "Star Wars" Death Star. UPI/NASA/JPL/Goddard/SWRI/SSI
