Barnstorming Enceladus
Closest Northern Views of Saturn’s Moon Enceladus, NASA
“NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has begun returning its best-ever views of the northern extremes of Saturn’s icy, ocean-bearing moon Enceladus. The spacecraft obtained the images during its Oct. 14 flyby, passing 1,142 miles (1,839 kilometers) above the moon’s surface. Mission controllers say the spacecraft will continue transmitting images and other data from the encounter for the next several days.”

I’m pretty stoked for the close approach later this month. Hopefully they’ll find some interesting stuff in the geyser!
