A high relief view of Mimas by Cassini taken on January 30 2017.
The final image of Iapetus taken by Cassini on May 30, 2017 at a distance of 2.5 million kilometers (1.5 million miles). Image resolution is 15 kilometers (9 miles) per pixel. The 3 craters on the white side are Naimon, Astor and Ivon
Mimas as seen by Cassini on January 15, 2005 and one of Cassini's first images of Mimas
Iapetus in the appearing in the shape of a Taijitu (Yin Yang symbol) taken on Aug. 30, 2013 by Cassini from a distance of 2.5 million kilometers (1.5 million miles). The crater at the terminator is Ganelon.
