NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft views the Saturnian solstice, which occurs about every 15 Earth years as the planet and its entourage slowly orbit the sun. NASA’s…
This newly released image from the Cassini Spacecraft shows the low angle of sunlight along the slim crescent of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, highlighting the many…
This newly released Cassini image gives astronomers a closer look at the north polar region of Enceladus. In the north, Enceladus’ surface appears to be…
NASA’s Cassini Mission and Hubble Space Telescope are providing new details about ocean-bearing moons of Jupiter and Saturn, increasing the scientific interest of these and…
A newly published study reveals that the south polar region of Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus is warmer than expected just a few feet below its…
This newly released Cassini image shows Enceladus at a distance of approximately 41,000 miles (66,000 kilometers) away. Enceladus is a world divided. To the north,…
This newly released Cassini image shows the Saturn-facing hemisphere of Enceladus. Seen from outside, Enceladus appears to be like most of its sibling moons: cold,…
This newly released Cassini image shows Saturn’s rings and the icy moon Enceladus. At first glance, the most obvious features in this image from NASA’s…
This newly released image of Saturn and Enceladus was taken by NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft last May. The water-world Enceladus appears here to sit atop Saturn’s…
NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft views a Y-shaped discontinuity on Enceladus’ south pole. A sinuous feature snakes northward from Enceladus’ south pole like a giant tentacle. This…
This newly released Cassini image shows Saturn’s Moons Enceladus and Janus. When taking images in directions opposite from the sun, most objects appear dark. Surprisingly,…
This new image from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows wrinkled plains that are remarkably youthful in appearance on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. When viewed with north pointing…
This newly released Cassini image shows Saturn’s moons Tethys, Enceladus, and Mimas. Three of Saturn’s moons — Tethys, Enceladus, and Mimas — are captured in…
NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft delivers another great image of Enceladus. This half-lit view of Enceladus bears a passing resemblance to similar views of Earth’s own natural…
This new image taken by the Cassini Spacecraft on December 19, 2015 provides a close-up of Enceladus. This terrain is on the moon’s Saturn-facing side,…
This new Cassini image dramatically displays the contrast between the older and newer terrain on Enceladus. Newer surfaces (on the left in the image) will…
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft will make its final close flyby of the ocean-bearing moon Enceladus on December 19, 2015. A thrilling chapter in the exploration of…
