MY-muss
Correio da Cassini
A Cassini, afastando-se de Saturno, mergulha no mais puro e profundo negro. O invisível e o indizível são aqui sinónimos.

Looking beyond Saturn's magnificent rings, Cassini caught a glimpse of the moon Mimas in orbit about the gas giant. Parts of Saturn's F and A rings are visible in the upper right corner. Here the thin F ring exhibits some of the complex structure for which it is well-known. Cassini was, at the time, speeding away from the Saturn system on its initial long, looping orbit. Mimas, pronounced "MY-muss," has a diameter of 398 kilometers (247 miles).
