Best Answer

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.

The only thing that makes it different from other moons, is the fact that it is the only moon that orbits the Earth.
