  • Der Saturnmond Enceladus ist vollständig von einer Eisschicht bedeckt: man nimmt an, dass dieser Anblick des Mondes dem der Erde während der Huronischen Eiszeit entspricht.
  • Saturn's moon Enceladus, covered in snow and ice, resembles a perfectly packed snowball in this image from NASA's Cassini mission. Cassini has imaged Enceladus many times throughout its mission, discovering a fractured surface and the now-famous geysers that erupt icy particles and water vapor from fractures crossing the moons' 200-mile-wide (300-kilometer-wide) south polar terrain.
  • The mountain ridge seen in the south in this image is part of the undulating mountain belt that circumscribes this region.
  • This view looks toward the leading side of Enceladus (313 miles, 504 kilometers across). North on Enceladus is up and rotated 6 degrees to the left. The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 10, 2012, using filters sensitive to ultraviolet, visible and infrared light (spanning wavelengths from 338 to 750 nanometers).

The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 106,000 miles (170,000 kilometers) from Enceladus.
