@BioTronic: i love Iapetus! it's so fucking mysterious! the dark and the white side, the weird form (because it isn't spheric) and that mountain on the Ecuador...

Even better a Death Star lookalike is Iapetus, Saturn’s third largest moon.

On top of that, I think they call the crater Darth Crater.

Mimas…link sez the crater’s 130km across. Since it looks about 1/4 the diameter, that’d make the moon 520km, or around 300 miles in diameter. What was the Death Star, 100 miles across? 120?

Math is fun.

@thelotuseater725: No, it's one of Saturn's moons.
