Enceladus Looms
Saturn's icy moon Enceladus looms above the night side of Saturn in this dramatic image from the Cassini spacecraft. The view also shows layers in Saturn's upper atmosphere, scattering sunlight along the planet's limb. Enceladus, only 500 kilometers in diameter, is known for its geysers erupting from its south polar region.
