Cassini Sends End-Of-Year Greetings From Across The Solar System

Recent Cassini images of Enceladus at high phase show the fountain-like sources of the fine spray of material that towers above the moon's south polar region. This image was taken looking more or less broadside at the 'tiger stripe' fractures observed in earlier Enceladus images and shows discrete and small-scale plumes above the limb of the moon. This color-coded image was processed to enhance faint signals, making contours in the plume of material even more apparent. The greatly enhanced and colorized image shows the enormous extent of the fainter, larger-scale component of the plume.

In celebration of the holiday season and the close of another remarkable year at the Saturnian frontier, the Imaging Team for NASA's Cassini mission is presenting a smorgasbord of Saturnian imagery showing heavenly bodies great and small, in motion, and in three dimensions.

The image products being released include color views, movies, maps and 3D anaglyphs. Fountains of icy spray erupting from the geologically fascinating moon Enceladus are featured in this group of images. Other views highlight Saturn's small moons, the smoggy atmosphere of Titan, and enchanting Saturn itself.

Along with the images and movies, the Imaging Team is also releasing updated maps of the six major Saturnian moons, including giant Titan. These products differ from the older versions released in Dec. 2005 in including new terrain on each moon imaged by Cassini in the last year.

Cracking Enceladus

Pasadena CA (SPX) Dec 18, 2006
Last year, when the Cassini spacecraft discovered an enormous plume erupting on Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, scientists speculated that liquid water lay at shallow depths beneath the icy surface. Now, as reported in the Dec. 15 issue of the journal Science, researchers have proposed an alternate model to account for this spectacular plume.
