Enceladus

This high-resolution image of Enceladus was made from several images obtained Aug. 25, l981, by Voyager 2 from a range of ll9,000 kilometers (74,000 miles). It shows further surface detail on this Saturnian moon. Enceladus is seen to resemble Jupiter's moon Ganymede, which is, however, about l0 times larger. Faintly visible here in light reflected from Saturn is the hemisphere turned away from the sun. The Voyager project is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. (P-24308)
