A SPACECRAFT orbiting Saturn has captured an unusual view of one of the planet's moons that looks like Pac-Man.

The Cassini craft took the snap of the tiny moon Mimas making it look exactly like the 1980s video games icon.

The picture shows temperature differences across Mimas, which is just 250 miles across.

Previously the large impact crater on the moon had earned it a different nickname.. the Death Star, after the space station in Star Wars.

Scientists are unable to explain why the moon's surface should show such differences.
