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)

John Spencer, a Cassini team member at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, US, agrees that the images are puzzling. “You would expect to see small craters or a smooth, snow-covered landscape at this resolution," he told New Scientist. "This is just strange. In fact, I have a really hard time understanding what I’m seeing.”

However, spending a lot more taxpayer dollars will help us all get the answer which has surely puzzled billions of people worldwide, namely, where do the icy boulders on Encelaus come from. I know it's kept me up many nights.
