    Mimas, one of Saturn’s smallest moons, was nearly destroyed by the impact that created Herschel Crater, a massive 130 km-wide scar. Analysis suggests a slightly larger impact would have shattered Mimas entirely, leaving behind no trace of the moon’s spherical form.

    Mars is at Closest Approach This Week. Next Time it Reaches This Distance Will be in 2031. Here it is Last Night Through my Telescope.

    I used a Celestron 9.25 and ASI662MC to image Mars last night, along with Phobos and Deimos, it’s 2 moons. Stars and glow are from a higher exposure. Extra equipment: UV/IR cut filter + 2x barlow. Processed on WinJupos, Registax6, and Lightroom.

    In this dazzling January skyscape, only Mercury is absent from the planetary parade. Mars rises opposite the Sun, while Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Uranus, and Neptune align near the ecliptic. A crescent Moon glows with earthshine, and Earth’s Mount Etna frames the view.
