		Daniel Barringer was one of the first to identify a geological structure as an impact crater, the Barringer Meteorite Crater (or the "Meteor Crater") in Arizona, but at the time his ideas were not widely accepted, and when they were, there was no recognition of the fact that Earth impacts are common in geological terms.

	mimas (moon) - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Mimas (mye'-mas) is a moon of Saturn that was discovered in 1789 by William Herschel.
		Mimas' low density (1.17) indicates that it is composed mostly of water ice with only a small amount of rock.
		Mimas' most distinctive feature is a colossal impact crater 130 km across, named Herschel after the moon's discoverer.

		A number of researchers, most notably Eugene M. Shoemaker, conducted detailed studies of the craters that provided clear evidence that they had been created by impacts, identifying the shock-metamorphic effects uniquely associated with impacts, of which the most familiar is Shocked quartz.
		Armed with the knowledge of shock-metamorphic features, Carlyle S. Beals and colleagues at the Dominion Observatory, (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada), and Wolf von Engelhardt of the University of Tübingen in Germany began a methodical search for "impact structures".
		Some volcanic features can resemble impact craters, and brecciated rocks are associated with other geological formations besides impact craters.

		Mimas is a moon of Saturn that was discovered in 1789 by William Herschel.
		It is also designated Saturn I. The name "Mimas" and the names of all seven satellites of Saturn then known were suggested by Herschel's son John Herschel in his 1847 publication Results of Astronomical Observations made at the Cape of Good Hope.
		The Cassini-Huygens orbiter is due to perform a flyby of Mimas on August 1, 2005.

		Once Mimas and Enceladus were discovered, in 1789, the numbering scheme was extended to Saturn VII.
		Rhea's features resemble those of Dione, with dissimilar leading and trailing hemispheres, suggesting similar composition and histories.
		Its surface can be divided into two geologically different areas based on crater density; the first area contains craters which are larger than 40 km in diameter, whereas the second area, in parts of the polar and equatorial regions, has craters under that size.

	Impact Crater Information - Articles Free (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		An impact crater (impact basin or sometimes crater) is a circular depression on a surface, usually referring to a planet, moon, asteroid, or other celestial body, caused by a collision of a smaller body (meteorite) with the surface.
		In the center of craters on Earth a crater lake often accumulates, and a central island or peak (caused by rebounding crustal rock after the impact) is usually a prominent feature in the lake.
		Note: it is reported in the scientific literature that some "shock" features, such as small shatter cones, which are often reported as being associated only with impact events, have been found in terrestrial volcanic ejecta.

		There are features that seem volcanic in origin, which probably disgorge water mixed with ammonia.
		The Cassini-Huygens Mission reached Saturn on July 1 2004 and has begun the process of mapping Titan's surface by radar; The Cassini probe flew by Titan on October 26 2004 and took the highest-resolution images ever of the moon's surface, discerning patches of light and dark that would be invisible to the human eye.

		Cassini has taken higher-resolution pictures of all these features, and has also spotted some enigmatic linear markings, which some scientists have suggested may indicate tectonic activity, as well as regions of bright material cross-cut by dark lineaments within the dark terrain.
		However, while many of Titan's surface features could be explained as the products of flowing liquids, no conclusive evidence has yet been found for the presence of liquids on Titan's surface at the present time.

		Once Mimas and Enceladus were discovered, in 1789, the numbering scheme was extended to Saturn 7.
		The crater is now quite flat (or more precisely, it conforms to Tethys' spherical shape), like the craters on Callisto, without the high ring mountains and central peaks commonly seen on the Moon and Mercury.
		The second major feature seen on Tethys is a huge valley called Ithaca Chasma, 100 km wide and 3 to 5 km deep.

		Official names for these features have only been announced very recently, as Titan's surface was virtually unknown before the arrival of the Cassini probe.
		Albedo features on Titan are named after sacred or enchanted places in world mythologies and literature.
		Because the exact nature of many surface features remain mysterious, a number of features have not yet received formal names and are known by nicknames.
