US-SPACE-SATURN-ENCELADUS
This image released 04 October, 2006 by NASA shows the wrinkled border of the Saturn moon Enceladus' south polar region snaking across this view, separating fresher, younger terrain from more ancient, cratered provinces. This is the region of Enceladus (505 kilometers, or 314 miles across) that is known to be presently geologically active. At right are clearly visible ridges and troughs thought to be caused by compressional stresses across the icy surface. The image was taken in polarized green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera 09 September, 2006 at a distance of approximately 66,000 kilometers (41,000 miles) from Enceladus. The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. AFP PHOTO/HO/NASA/GETTY OUT
