Enceladus flyby
Text Size
The Cassini spacecraft took new images of Saturn's moon Enceladus during a close flyby on November 21. Astronomers have long suspected that Enceladus has a liquid ocean below its surface that emerges in jets of salty material from the moon's south pole. The new images are hoped to provide the highest resolution images yet of the jets, as well as the so-called "tiger stripes" that crisscross the moon's surface. — Lisa Grossman, November 21, 2009
