Really close flyby of Enceladus by Cassini
Cassini just went by Enceladus, the little icy moon of Saturn with water volcanoes, getting down to just 50 km from the surface. It got pictures of the south polar regions in hopes of getting a close look at those tiger stripes that vent out water ice particles. These pictures have plenty of shadows, making it easy to see surface relief.

The images are fascinating. **Turning Spock mode off** The scientists will release many more pictures as soon as they find something unique and interesting. |
