Mimas dawnDescription
Mimas is the closest “classical” satellite of Saturn that was known before the Voyager encounters. Astronaut Alan Bean once told Bill that most lunar paintings showed too flat a surface. Instead, it seemed that everywhere lay a surface at a slightly different angle. Hartmann tried to capture that feeling of dawn lighting on such a chaotic surface.Artwork Details
