Pac Man Giant

A few years back the Cassini probe discovered some odd temperature variances on one of Saturn's moons, Mimas. The infrared showed it to have a strange heat signature that looked very much like a giant pac man. Cassini found a similar pattern in another moon Tethys.

It is caused, they theorize that certain surface areas are more thermally conductive than others.

They have yet to determine if the moons are eating asteroids and running from ghosts.

Do you want to know more?
