Fresh Tiger Stripes on Saturn's Enceladus

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Do underground oceans vent through the tiger stripes on Saturn's moon Enceladus? These long features are known to be spewing ice from the moon's icy interior into space. This creates a cloud of fine ice particles over the moon's South Pole and forms Saturn's mysterious E-ring. The Cassini spacecraft, orbiting Saturn, gathered this evidence.
