Mimas is rather scary looking ;)  I wonder if NASA could sue Lucasfilm ...

I still remember reading the National Geographic issues with the latest
photos from Voyagers 1 and 2 ... I was in sheer awe of the quality of the
photos and the technology that got us so far from home.  Stunning.

Incidentally, I'm also using a NASA photo blag for my wallpaper - an
excellent photo of Jack Schmitt on Apollo 17 - slightly modded in Photoshop
to bring the Earth into the photo - i love it.  Looks cool when I have
transparent windows floating about the screen :)
