one more from enceladus. this might not be the most striking image but it is one that has big implications. this is ice, water vapor and most importantly organic compounds erupting from the surface. this image is one of the main reasons cassini's flightplan has been altered to bring it to within just 23 km of the surface in march of this year.

“When you are the moon, there is a man n'he is the sun. I seen 'im once. He came a-past me really fast, and it was called the “an eclipse”. And he came past me really fast , but as he came past, I licked his back. He doesn’t know I licked his back .all on his yellow suit.
...I’m the moon.”:lol:
