New Cassini Movie: Mimas Occults Janus


Following up on an earlier post, CICLOPS has released a new movie showing Mimas, with Herschel clearly visible, occulting the small, inner satellite Janus, a few week ago. It should be noted that some frames were interpolated, rather than actually observed by Cassini to allow for a smooth video. Mimas is nearing its closeup coming next month when Cassini flies within 85,000 km of the small, cratered satellite.
