WOW!! Amazing stuff, thanks Trev :thumbsup:
What a crater that Herschel is, and yes, very 'death star' like Mimas is. ;)
Think I wll have another look and read. :)

Thanks for the link Trevor. Oh how easy is it to loose time when you just start pouring through the image library. Truly fantastic images.

Awesome images. Carolyn Porco has been studying Saturn for a long time now. Good luck to her !

Those are stunning, especially the false colour and 3D ones. What an awesomely desolate place - it looks like it's been used for target practice!
