Card 2 of 2

A Moon of Saturn

The image depicts Mimas, one of Saturn's moons, captured in a grayscale format. The moon is spherical in shape, showcasing a heavily cratered surface typical of many celestial bodies in the solar system. The most prominent feature is a large crater located slightly to the right of center, with a pronounced rim and a central peak within it, indicative of an impact event. The surface appears rough and textured with varying crater sizes scattered across the moon. The light source seems to be coming from the upper left, casting shadows and highlighting the cratered terrain.
