CAPTION: Giant boulders appear as white bumps in this close-up shot of Enceladus. They do not fill in the cracks on the icy moon's surface, suggesting the boulders formed before the fractures (Image: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)

They way I see it, when a crack opens up, it swallows whatever is on the downhill slope and then fills in with a liquid that freezes on the surface and essentially creates a fresh cover.
... but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Suites.

I'm holding off until I hear what George Noory has to say about this.

"...Enceladus is six times smaller than Europa"
Not possible. Perhaps 1/6 the size of Europa?

Where do people learn to write these days? This: "when Cassini will skim even closer than ever" is a poorly constructed phrase. It would suffice to say that "Cassini will skim even closer", or "Cassini will skim closer than ever," but to use both "even" and "ever" is redundant.

"And this raises the possibility that Enceladus could possess a sub-surface ocean similar to that on Jupiter's moon Europa." Has the latter ever really been established?
Or are the "scientists" piling theories on top of hypotheses on top of guesses (again)?

Ooh, Moravian sugar cake! Just look at that crumb topping. The butter holes are the best part, though.
