> On This Day In Space: Sept. 17, 1789: Saturn's 'Death Star' moon Mimas discovered
> Of course, "Star Wars" wasn't a thing at the time, and no one had ever heard of something called a "Death Star." But there's no denying that this moon looks just like it.
> Mimas is super tiny with a diameter of less than 250 miles. It is the smallest known spherical body in space that is held together by self-gravitation.
