2.5) Yeh… I see… you think you you’re cutting 30 in half down to 15, but what you really need to do is divide it by .5 (not 2)… and the result is 60. Adding 10 gives you 70… Clever!

It’s Mimas. Mimas is the smallest of Saturn’s moons and is heavily cratered due to frequent impacts throughout history. The Herschel Crater, which is named after the astronomer William Herschel, is all that remains of the object that almost shattered the small moon and makes it look like <grasp yourself…> the Death Star from Star Wars Gasp!.
