Pac-man on a death star eating death stars with pac-mans on them who eat death stars with pac-mans on them going thru lines of death stars that have pac-mans...

Now the rebels don't have to fight to blow up the death star, just call Pacman.:rofl:

 

[Logifech]

looks really funny.

 

[Chub777]

They should have this on Orbiter.:lol:

He's eating that large crater.

Craters.
Om nom nom, tastey!
Seriously though, this is awesome. +1 for making this a texture mod in orbiter.

That's no moon... that's a space station.
Now I know the rings of Saturn are the remnants of Alderaan, and we all know Luke failed, for the station is still there.

I guess the movie was a cover-up then.

Someone should use that flyby to make a higher-res version of Mimas.

 

[Marcel]

That's no crater...its a power pill!

 

[Izack]

What I'm wondering is why the thermal image seems to show a considerable atmosphere around something 400km across...

Maybe I don't have enough fantasy. I don't see Pac-Man.

"Finding a second Pac-Man in the Saturn system tells us that the processes creating these 'Pac-Men' are more widespread than previously thought," said Carly Howett, of the Southwest Research Institute in Texas and lead author of the study.

I imagine her to say it like this:

"...tells us that the process creating these... er... hrmm... 'Pac'...hrm ... 'MEN'......if you will...HRM HMM HRUM cough ...yes...(chortle)... are more previously widespread..." sounding rather like an old grumbly British professor
