Close Up View of Prometheus
“NASA’s Cassini spacecraft spied details on the pockmarked surface of Saturn’s moon Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles across) during a moderately close flyby on Dec. 6, 2015. This view looks towards the anti-Saturn side of Prometheus. North on Prometheus is up. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera.”

  1. So did I just totally miss any announcement about what it might have found in the close pass on Enceladus’ polar geysers? Or is it still just taking a very long time to transmit that data back?

    1. I think you just need to wait a few more days. The initial results from the last Cassini encounter with Enceladus will probably be presented at the AGU conference next week.
