& thanks to the cassini probe currently orbitting saturn here is a nice new pic of it! :D

http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/browse/PIA07639.jpg
The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini narrow-angle camera on Oct. 13, 2005 at a distance of approximately 711,000 kilometers (442,000 miles) from Mimas and at a Sun-Mimas-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 112 degrees. The image scale is 4 kilometers (3 miles) per pixel. No ninjas or dragons have yet been detected.

props to the very successful cassini mission.
