Marginis is a relatively minor mare, but still covers about 62,000 square km; more than 4 of the 5 Great Lakes. This image detail is about 6km on the side.

this line is part of a very large circle: Saturn’s F Ring, photographed by Cassini, 1st June 2013.
With a radius of about 140,000 km, pretty much the largest circle (or, given orbital mechanics, ellipse. And excluding larger but fainter rings…).
