| Yar, ye be a true pirate! | ||||||
| also c*cks | ||||||
| Holy mounds of wows! | ||||||
| I like the Bothan quote lolz. | ||||||
| Awesomeness........... and a half? Yes, I think so. | ||||||
| good finding | ||||||
| I think you have the marker for the crater in the wrong place. Look closer to the equator, and just this side of the "dark side." | ||||||
| They built that damn thing again? | ||||||
| Eh, both craters work. I was trying to make the images seem similar, between the dark side of the moon and the unfinished section of the Death Star, luckily for me that crater sort of but not quite aligns with where the weapon would be on the Death Star. | ||||||
| cool but I scratch a star as the Death Star has an innie and the moon has an outie. | ||||||
| 'Cept that the ring on Iapetus is a ridge, not a valley. | ||||||
| Yes I realize the difference in the rings one being protruding the other not, I had intended only to point out the similarity in the location of the rings, not their absolute specifics. | ||||||
| Try Mimas http://www.planetary.org/saturn/images/mimas_cassini_pia06258.jpg It has a huge crater that looks like the Superlaser. | ||||||
| Well here come to the downvotes, shame that it was only above four stars for such a short time, I'll try to think of something else YTMND worthy. | ||||||
| YOU WILL KILL LUKE SKYWALKER. | ||||||
| We're doomed. | ||||||
| just start killing bothans.. ill tell you when to stop. | ||||||
| this fad was great... in the 80s !!! | ||||||
| Dude, that's how ytmnd works. You got the honest people, then you got the sleezy back alley downvoters. Usually, if you wtahc with ytmnd spy, they are accounts with no created sites on them. Happened to all my sites both current and deleted which made the front page. | ||||||
| Ah well, when I first arrived to YTMND I too downvoted simply because I didn't like the YTMND or thought it was of poor quality, after creating a handful of my own I realize that trying to make people laugh isn't always easy, so now I give credit where it is due. | ||||||
| Nice. | ||||||
| Which moon was it that astronomers think collided with another object, came apart, but then reformed under the weight of its own gravity? I'ma go look it up. | ||||||
| As mentioned, Mimas looks far more like the Death Star http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimas_%28moon%29 | ||||||
| Nice find. | ||||||
| sh*t yeah! | ||||||
| good find but thiers and other one of Saturns moons that look more like the death star. | ||||||
| It's kinda dusty... someone should send a spacebrush. | ||||||
| on the contrary many bothans died | ||||||
| dude there is a big ring on the right side of that object that is way closer to the cannon | ||||||
| but it happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away | ||||||
| i'm convinced | ||||||
| 5'd for "no Bothans were harmed in bringing you this information." | ||||||
| THAT'S NO MOON... | ||||||
| Star wars does take place a LONG time ago | ||||||
| Wrong crater circled? | ||||||
| 5'd for not harming the Bothans. | ||||||
| That's no space station, that's a moon! | ||||||
| OH SHI- | ||||||
| ruh roh | ||||||
| That's no moon. | ||||||
| http://empirical.ytmnd.com/ | ||||||
| While Mimas does have a crater that more closely resembles the directed superlaser, I feel that this moon has the belt giving in the advantage in appearance, and yes I know that under any other circumstance the crater sitting on the line might be a better consideration for the weapon..if you look at it and were to rotate the moon that crater I circled would be in a better position, plus the small dark hole in the circled crater matches up with the Death Star one. | ||||||
| |||||||
| Too bad you circled the wrong spot and a ring doesn't resemble a trench very well. | ||||||
| Perhaps you cannot see the crater I circled, but once again if you look and turn the moon, (use your imagination for this one folks) the crater circled aligns alot better, think of turning the moon so the circled crater matches up with the directed superlaser of the Death Star (Imagine this in 3 dimensions) yes the Death Star does have a trench but I was actually just trying to point out the similarity in appearance of the equatorial lines. Thanks for the 4 though, hell of alot better than a downvote. | ||||||
| ghey music | ||||||
| The one problem though is that the crater goes through the ring. | ||||||
| thats no moon....... | ||||||
| Wait, George Lucas was not making up Star Wars?!?!?!? OMG | ||||||
| Its not the Death Star, its the Death Egg! | ||||||
| f*cking old | ||||||
| kill more bothans | ||||||
| That's no moon. | ||||||
| board the x-wings! | ||||||
| Attack before it's operational! Better send the whole rebel fleet too. | ||||||
| I don't think we have to worry, latest intel suggests the plan is to attack Uranus. | ||||||
| holy... | ||||||
| well, the deathstar has sure taken a long journey | ||||||
| You win a fabulous asteroid field. | ||||||
| This ladies & germs, is the day of our reckoning. Well, alright, it's kinda late, so like tomorrow maybe. | ||||||
| OMG, secret Imperial satellite! | ||||||
| 5'd for not harming any Bothans. | ||||||
| eveyone knows george lucas modeled the death star after Iapetus, thats like geek knowledge...........................................................................................j/k | ||||||
| That's no moon | ||||||
| meh. | ||||||
| Let's blow this thing up so we can all go home! | ||||||
| who gives a sh*t | ||||||
| I guess some dude on saturn with a moon carver liked star wars alot | ||||||
| we'd better join the empire for now. its only a matter of time before they get here | ||||||
| Wrong | ||||||
| you got 2'ed. I looked at your source, and you are wrong. This moon has a equatorial ridge, not an equatorial trench. And the crater looks like nothing on the death star. However, neptune's moon, Mimas, looks way more like the Death Star | ||||||
| You'll notice I called it a ring, not a trench, I made reference to the valley on the Death Star. | ||||||
| f*ck! we're all dead, i'm sure you all remember what happened to Aldaraan. Now if we can only find Cheney's hyperbaric chamber and destroy it while his helmet is off we'll be in better shape than we're in now... | ||||||
| LOL! Nice one Ball
tsuki | ||||||
| 5'd because this is way cooler than all the other unimaginative folks are letting on. | ||||||
| The new Death Star destroyed Pluto, killed Jesus, ate Steve Irwin, and gave pubic lice to Arnold Schwartzenegger. | ||||||
| Many Bothans died to bring us this information | ||||||
| O: | ||||||
| you should ad a picture that show's it's superlaser like crater clearly to the one you already have, and maybe use the completed version of the death star | ||||||
| oh snap | ||||||
| Old, but I haven't seen a YTMND of it yet. Kudos. | ||||||
| METEORS DID IT | ||||||
| But it asploded. | ||||||
| 5'd for Metallica. | ||||||
| omgd secret emperial moon | ||||||
| thats no moon... | ||||||
| 3'd because no Bothans were harmed. Why the f*ck not? You should go out of your way to harm bothans whenever the opportunity arises. | ||||||
| Cant Stop the rock | ||||||
| good but bad choice of music | ||||||
| apparently I one'd this on accident. It's clever so +4 | ||||||
| ITS A TRAP! | ||||||
| HOLY PHUX!!!!!!!!!1111111 *****
| ||||||
| "no Bothans were harmed in bringing you this information" | ||||||
| WE GOT DEATHSTAR | ||||||
| Me thinks he dost protest too much. | ||||||
| that's awesome man | ||||||
| Ooh, a calcified Death Star! | ||||||
| That's no moon! | ||||||
| OH SHI- | ||||||
| OSHI— | ||||||
| Did Metallica really do that? Thats tight! | ||||||
| Flawless. ^_^ | ||||||
| Needs flashing Vader!!! | ||||||
| brilliant! | ||||||
| I mean, this is just...oh my god... jesus...wow... | ||||||
| THE SOUND ORIGIN ISNT METALLICA YOU STUPID MOTHERF*CKER | ||||||
