Fresh Tiger Stripes on Saturn's Enceladus

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Saturn's moon Enceladus has mysterious 'tiger stripes' at its south pole, which are geologically active. The Cassini spacecraft detected a significant increase in particle collisions during a close flyby over this region, indicating that these stripes are spewing ice from the moon's interior into space. This activity creates a cloud of fine ice particles that contributes to Saturn's E-ring.
