Recently acquired by the Cas as ini' CIR a temperature map (11 -16 microns radiation) of small satellite Mimas caused a perplexity among the Cassini scientists (an interpretation of PIA12867). They expected to have a regular temperature map characteristic of a homogeneous spherical body heated by Sun. Instead, the bizarre map with two sharply divided temperature fields was produced (Fig. 1). The temperature difference between two fields is about 15 Kelvin that is rather remarkable. The warm part has typical temperature near 92 Kelvin, the cold part -about 77 Kelvin. Obviously there are two icy substances with different conductivity of heat composing two planetary segments (hemispheres). But in this result there is nothing new for explorers insisting for many years that all celestial bodies are tectonically dichotomous [1, 2, 3]. However, this new beautiful confirmat ion of the wave planetology theorem 1 (" Celes tial bodies are dichotomous ") is not s uperfluous , as many s cientis ts , es pecially in the USA, are not acquainted with the wave p lanetology. The fundamental wave 1 long 2πR warping any body aris es in them becaus e they move in elliptica l keple rian orbits with periodically changing acceleration. Having in rotating bodies (but all bodies rotate!) a stationary character and four interfering directions (ortho- and diagonal) these waves inevitably produce uplifting (+), subsiding (-), and neutral (0) tectonic blocks (Fig. 7). The uplifts and subsidences are in an opposition (the best examples are the terrestrial Eastern (+) and Western ( -) segments-hemispheres and mart ian Northern (-) and Southern (+) ones) [3]. The small icy Mimas (396 km in diameter) is no exclusion (Fig. 1). Its dichotomy is well pronounced in two temperature fields obviously reflect ing slightly different in composition icy materials composing two segments. Presence of two kinds of surface materials is also revealed by spectrometry under combination of the UV, green and IR emissions (Fig. 4). Around Herschel Crater material is more bluish than more greenish elsewhere (artificial colors). Presence of dark streaks on walls o f some craters also indicates at another than pure ice substance. The deep Herschel Crater on the cooler segment is somewhat warmer than surrounding terrains (Fig. 1). Thus, one may suppose that the warmer segment exposes deeper layers and is uplifted (+), the cooler segment is subsided (-). Important confirmat ions of Mimas ' dichotomy are s imi lar geometric patterns observed on Iapetus (black & white) (Fig. 2) and on Titania (Fig. 3). Such pattern can be caught under specific viewing point s of dichotomous structure. Figures 5 and 6 show dichotomies of Rhea and Dione. Fig. 7 gives a geometrical s cheme of getting dichotomies by wave interference.
