@wavepsychic It very nearly didn't. Features on the other side of the moon show that the shockwaves tore the moon's crust apart. The crater is a good 30% of the diameter of Mimas itself. Had it been, say, 50%, there would BE no Mimas. Just a lot more dust in the rings, maybe making us wonder 'What if a moon was destroyed in the distant past?'
@JTelli786: Nahhh...Iapetus could have been another Death Star look-alike. Except it's got that weird circumferential ridge, and that yin-and-yang dark and light color side -- turning it into a giant white chocolate-dipped walnut. LOL

The death star is allegedly half the diameter of mimas.... according to wikipedia.

OMG!!!! Darth Vader is invading! We're doomed! It's the Death Star!
Lol, mimas is awesome weird. When that asteroid did that, I wonder what the surface of that moon looked like.

How can Mimas suffer an impact like that without being blasted apart.
