Mimas is composed of water ice and dust. It is a dirty grey color.
I looks like a Star Wars' "Death Star" that has been through many battles.
The "Main Weapon" is the Herschel crater. The crater is 130 kilometers across, and has a central peak about 6 kilometers high. The walls of the outer ring are about 5 kilometers tall.
The soft material of Mimas allows for many impact craters which cover the surface.
Mimas has no atmosphere. It does not have enough mass to hold on to one.
One of Saturn's (many) moons is named Mimas.

Mimas is a small moon of Saturn. Something crashed into Mimas and left a huge crater about 80 mi. wide, about 1/3 of the moon itself! The collision nearly broke Mimas apart. Mimas also has a mountain at it's center that is Mt. Everest. Future Astronomer, Hanna, also a poptropica expert :)
