Enceladus!
Captain's Log: March 9, 2006 Enceladus! Last November, special imaging sequences trained on Enceladus as it sat backlit by the sun revealed in striking detail the plume of material that we had flown through back in July as we buzzed the Enceladus surface. Many distinct narrow fountains of vapor and fine water ice particles, were clearly seen jetting from the south polar surface and reaching tens of miles into space. These jets supply material to an even larger diffuse plume that extends hundreds of miles above the south pole. A spectacular sight if there ever was one!" |
