Enceladus by Saturnshine
This image shows Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, illuminated by Saturnshine. A large portion of the moon is lit by sunlight first reflected from Saturn. This makes the normally snow-white moon appear in the gold color of Saturn's cloud tops. A labyrinth of ridges throws notable shadows, and the kilometer-deep canyon Labtayt Sulci is visible just below the image center.
