Mimas & The Bands Caught in sunlight, icy moon Mimas shines above a broad shadow across gas giant Saturn. In this remarkable image from the Cassini spacecraft, tiny Mimas is at the upper right. The broad shadow across the giant planet is cast by Saturn’s dense B ring with intriguing threadlike shadows from Saturn’s inner C ring arrayed below.
