Space Image of the Day Gallery (June 2017)

Tuesday, June 13, 2017: Far out in the background of this image from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft is Saturn’s “Death Star” moon, Mimas . The little moon measures only 246 miles (396 kilometers across) across and has a large basin spanning roughly one-third its diameter. Cassini captured this photo while orbiting over Saturn’s northern hemisphere on March 27. — Hanneke Weitering
