Saturn's moon Tethys looks startlingly like the Death Star
Has anyone checked if it has a thermal exhaust port?
NASA may think Saturn's moon Tethys looks like "an eyeball staring into space", but we can't help thinking of a more ominous resemblance: the Death Star.
A snap from NASA spacecraft Cassini shows one of Saturn's large, icy moons – complete with an enormous crater, named Odysseus.

The space agency explains: "Like any solar system moon, Tethys (660 miles or 1,062 kilometers across) has suffered many impacts. These impacts are a prime shaper of the appearance of a moon's surface."

Here's hoping it's not fully operational.
