Astrology and the Zodiac = Zodiacology - Saturn's Moon Enceladus

Saturn's Moon Enceladus

This Voyager 2 mosaic of Enceladus was made from images taken through the clear, violet and green filters August 25, 1981, from a distance of 119,000 kilometers (74,000 miles).

In many ways, the surface of this satellite of Saturn resembles that of Jupiter's Galilean satellite Ganymede. Enceladus, however, is only one-tenth Ganymede's size. Some regions of Enceladus show impact craters up to 35 kilometers (22 miles) in diameter, whereas other areas are smooth and uncratered. Linear sets of grooves tens of kilometers long traverse the surface and are probably faults resulting from deformation of the crust.

The uncratered regions are geologically young and suggest that Enceladus has experienced a period of relatively recent internal melting. The smooth terrain has flooded the rims of several craters near the lower center of the picture.

The satellite is about 500 kilometers (310 miles) in diameter and has the brightest and whitest surface of any of Saturn's satellites. Features as small as 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) are visible in this highest-resolution view of Enceladus.

The Voyager project is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA
