bullshit, wrap it in gold and shove an energizer bunny up its butt. oh so you cant take hd photos in space, im calling bullshit

@Zoroasterrrr not only would your HD camera not last 5 seconds in space, it wouldn't survive liftoff. I'm also certain it wouldn't have the power efficiency for function to survive the months in deep space it takes for travel. It just wasn't developed for space exploration. Also, there is the issue of radiation. Sensitive hi def gear simply cant take that kind of heat. Given time and technological advances we will be seeing bigger and better pics in the future. Keep looking up!

To see all this and know we are stuck on this rock...

@dizzib and history. Truly fascinating. I can't wait to learn more!

@Zoroasterrrr Your HD camera won't last 5 seconds in space, stupid.

These are RAW images, you fool. You try transmitting from a billion kilometres away and see if you don't get a few errors in your images.

It looks like a moldy orange that has been hit by a shotgun blast and then allowed to mold some more. Impressive impact crater on dayside. Rest of surface appears to be blasted by some titanic forces... prolly that impactor. Shockwaves must have gone round and round reflecting off each other and bouncing back and forth again and again to create that ridge line , maybe? Impressive, ancient, hostile, frozen, tortured, lifeless... nugget in space. Insert breathless noises.... thankyou

The 50's-90's cameras sucked. THUMBS UP IF YOU HAVE A HD CAMERA!!!! Look at the cameras we can buy today, and you show me this crap?

@phdhbtdsmmm if you want to see the real death star moon look up Mimas on Google images.
