Mimas . ... The surface is icy and heavily cratered. ... Because Mimas has such a low temperature of about -200њ C (-328њF), the impact features may date back to the time of the moon's creation. One of the craters, named Herschel, is surprisingly large in comparison to the size of the moon. The crater is 130 kilometers (80 miles) wide, one-third the diameter of Mimas. Herschel is 10 kilometers (6 miles) deep, with a central mountain almost as high as Mount Everest on Earth. ...

Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared spectroscopy has been obtained for 15 carbon-rich protoplanetary nebulae (PPNe) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and for two other such stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Of these 17 PPNe, the unidentified 21 ѕ®m feature is strong in 7 spectra, weak in 2 spectra, and very weak or questionable in 4 spectra. ... The remaining two objects show typical carbon-rich PPNe spectra with no 21 ѕ®m features. ...
