Think you may mean "Mimas" which is a satellite of Saturn. Its a tiny moon which has a crater 130KM across (The Herschel Crater) so it does look like an invention of Mr Lucas.

Saturn. And the moon is Mimas. When first viewd by Voyager in 1979, there was a huge crater on it - fully about 10% of the total moon's surface - that looked like the crater on the Death Star. When the image first loaded, and everyone was looking in silence, somebody asked, "Is that the Death Star?"

Please ignore all these other idiots who think they're being funny; you have a legitimate question. You are thinking of Saturn, one of whose moons--Mimas--has been jokingly referred to as the Death Star because of its appearance. It has a crater on one side that is enormous (in proportion to the moon itself...so big, in fact, that some people wonder how the moon even survived the collision) and gives the moon a striking resemblance to the Death Star of Star Wars fame.

That's no moon... it's a Space Station!

I think there is a moon which has one large, predominant crater which makes it resemble the Death Star vaguely, and so has been nick-named that, although that's not it's official name of course. I don't recall which moon it actually is.

Earth has an artificial satellite (artificial moon by some terms) called the Death Star.

What question about a planet with a moon called the death star, keeps getting asked over and over.

EDIT now that Shaun has answered this question will you stop asking it, for gods sake?

It's the Earth. Remember when Dr. Evil created a "Laser" and placed it on the moon, thus turning it into what he liked to call a "Death Star".
