SPACE-SATURN-ENCELADUS


During its very close flyby 09 March , 2005, the Cassini spacecraft captured this false-color view of Saturn-s moon Enceladus, which shows the wide variety of this icy moon-s geology. The atmosphere of Saturn forms the background of this scene (its color has been rendered grey to allow the moon to stand out). The Sun illuminates Enceladus from the left, leaving part of it in shadow and blocking out part of the view of Saturn. This view shows the anti-Saturn hemisphere, centered nearly on the equator. The images comprising this view were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera at a distance of approximately 94,000 kilometers (58,000 miles) from Enceladus. AFP PHOTO/HO/NASA
