DescriptionMap of Mimas 2012-06 PIA14926.jpg	English: Map of Mimas - June 2012 [half size] This global map of Saturn's moon Mimas was created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys, with Voyager images filling in the gaps in Cassini's coverage. The moon's large, distinguishing crater, Herschel, is seen on the map at left. The map is an equidistant (simple cylindrical) projection and has a scale of 216 meters (710 feet) per pixel at the equator. The mean radius of Mimas used for projection of this map is 198.2 kilometers (123.2 miles). The resolution of the map is 16 pixels per degree. This mosaic map is an update to the version released in February 2010 (see PIA12780). These mosaics contain data from Cassini's June 5, 2012, flyby of Mimas.
