Cassini imaging scientists used views like this one to help them identify the source locations for individual jets spurting ice particles, water vapor and trace organic compounds from the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I’m old enough to remember when we thought Saturn had only 9 moons.

OK ... here's a theory ...
In the beginning all planets were in the same orbit as earth and God watched to see who would do the best .... and like a game of marbles ..... HE flicked the losers out of the circle
And as long as we continue to honor Him as Creator of it all ... He'll let us stay
If not ...
Have you seen all those OTHER creations of His He could go to ?

Bring your coat.
At about -300F it's a bit chilly.

It reflects almost 100% of the sunlight it receives. This high reflectivity is caused by a very smooth surface of fresh water ice. Since Enceladus reflects so much of the sunlight it receives, its surface temperature is a chilling -330° F (-201° C).

I’m old enough to recall when we thought the Sun and planets revolved around Earth.

This shot shows a rather hi-impact to the top and left but relatively lo-impact or even no-impact area to the right. I wonder if its orbital period shelters it from meteor showers?
