How Mimas Got its Name

The mythological Mimas was a giant who was killed by Mars in the war between the Titans and the gods of Olympus. Even after his death, Mimas’ legs – which were serpents – hissed vengeance and sought to attack his killer.

Mimas was named by John Herschel, the son of discoverer William Herschel, who explained his choice of names for the first seven of Saturn’s moons to be discovered by writing, “As Saturn devoured his children, his family could not be assembled round him, so that the choice lay among his brothers and sisters, the Titans and Titanesses.”

Astronomers also refer to Mimas as “Saturn I” based on its distance being the closest to Saturn. The International Astronomical Union now controls the official naming of astronomical bodies.
