DescriptionCassiniPhotographMimasSaturn.jpg	English: Cassini photographed this natural-color picture of Saturn and Mimas. Mimas (approx. 396 km, or 246 miles, wide) is the tiny white dot located in in the lower left of the image. To improve visibility in this photograph, both Mimas and Saturn's rings appear brighter than normal. Cassini photographed this view while facing the northern sunlit side of Saturn's rings, at approximately a 10 degree angle above the ringplane. This photograph was taken on 4 September 2009 at a distance of approximately 2.7 million kilometers (1.7 million miles) from Saturn. Sun-Saturn-spacecraft angle (phase angle) is 92 degrees. Scale: 156 kilometers (97 miles) per pixel. Post-Equinox Color: PIA11613 (tiff size = 2.623 MB, jpeg size = 30.24 kB), Cassini–Huygens mission, Cassini Orbiter photograph, Imaging Science Subsystem - Wide Angle instrument, 982 samples x 889 lines in size, produced by Cassini Imaging Team, primary data set located at Cassini
