Kate — Mimas isn’t focused on Jupiter; it orbits Saturn. In any case, Mimas isn’t the only Death Star moon; it’s just the best known. Here are a couple.

Saturn’s moon Tethys has the whopping huge Odysseus crater:

That makes it look more like an eyeball though. Not to worry; the crater Melanthius is more Death Star-eseque:

Saturn’s moon Iapetus turns out to have several ginormous craters, any of which could double as the superlaser, and additionally, it has a strange equatorial ridge which echoes the Death Star’s equatorial trench:

Indeed, massive impact craters seem to be startlingly common around Saturn. It’s a chaotic place.

What about the big white ball at Disney World? Because when I think Disney, I think The Dark Side.

Dude…we totally have the Death Star in our own solar system! That would be frightening, except that it seems to have its attention focused on Jupiter, and has for a very, very long time…

Vancouver BC, we have a geodesic dome building that houses Science World.

It’s all silver and sparkly and more of a sphere than the Belarus library.

Bloom County was the first major pop culture outlet to point out the resemblance between the AT&T logo, in a 1982 strip.

Also, because no one else has said it: THAT’S NO MOON!
