Target: Enceladus

 

3D rendering of Enceladus

Later today, Monday, November 2, the Cassini spacecraft will execute another close flyby of Saturn’s moon Enceladus and take some highly detailed images of the south polar region – the source of the little moon’s enigmatic jets. We should hopefully see some image data returned by the afternoon.

The image above is a rendering made with the latest maps of the moon. Just for fun.

Looking forward to some interesting photos!
