    This planet simply suffers from a cosmic case of the runs. Simple. It's just a space-sized messy anus.

    Mimas is the Death Star from Star Wars, Iapetus is the unfinished Death Star II from Return of the Jedi.

    If any of us actually get to space and see some of the things we've seen pictures of, we'll be most likely disappointed that everything is not colorized like the photos we've seen. Not that I wouldn't take my chances...
