The Cassini spacecraft in orbit around Saturn has caught an interesting new view of the tiny moon Mimas.

The probe measured temperature differences across the object's surface and produced a map that looks just like the 1980s Pac-Man video games icon.

Scientists are unsure why Mimas should display such variations but say it is probably related to the diversity of textures in the surface materials....

The reason that huge crate has a "hill" in the middle of it is because a big asteroid hit their moon so hard that the ground had a recoil effect. Kinda like when you drop water into water, you see a little water shoot up before it ripples. Same thing here, except obviously no ripples.
