A "space selfie"—one of the first ever—taken by Edwin
@TheRealBuzz Aldrin on November 12, 1966 during the first spacewalk of the Gemini 12 mission. The 2-meter-high L-band boom antenna on the Agena Target Vehicle is visible in the background. (NASA image S66-62926_G12-S)#OTDpic.twitter.com/FPN8kZ0wcW

That image data was taken from a distance of about 633,000 km and shows the area over Antarctica, rotated so south is up. It's been digitally upscaled but the original resolution from OSIRIS' narrow-angle camera was about 12km/pixel.

Of course Mimas doesn't have a planet-destroying superlaser, an equatorial trench, or a reactor core, and it's quite a bit larger than the original Death Star was supposed to be. (It's also made mostly of water ice as opposed to whatever metals used in the
@StarWars galaxy.)pic.twitter.com/XPAHlUV71G

41 years ago today we got our first good view of our Solar System’s very own “Death Star!” Captured by Voyager 1 on November 12, 1980 as it was passing by Saturn, this image (
@NASA # PIA01968) shows moon Mimas with its 139 km-wide, 5 km deep Herschel crater.#OTD@starwarspic.twitter.com/pV8kxKjSpQ

On Earth, multicellular life first appeared about 7 galactic years ago. The first brains evolved about 2 galactic years ago. The asteroid that brought the age of the dinosaurs to an end impacted 0.29 galactic years ago. And within 1 galactic year there will only be one continent.

Heck, our own Solar System is enormous. Voyager 1 has been traveling 38,000 mph* for 44 years and is still only 21.5 light *hours* from Earth. HOURS. *About 17 km/second; relative to the Sun. Source: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/
