[[Image:mimas_deathstar.jpg|frame|right|Mimas bears a striking resemblance to the [[Death Star]], a space station in the movie ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|Star Wars]]'']]

*Comparisons have been made between Mimas' appearance and the appearance of the [[Death Star]] from the movie ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|Star Wars]]'' (see picture). The appearance is merely a coincidence, as Mimas was not photographed until three years after the release of the film; it was this similarity that led to Mimas sometimes being called "the Death Star moon".
