Go here:

then browse about, selecting Enceladus from the drop-down options.

Big science, guys. These images are fresh from the environs of Saturn.

Very fresh.

Oh ... some of the other pix are interesting too. My problems is that I have a busy day scheduled and I could easily spend most of it on this site.

Think Kinzel might like the CICLOPS (Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for Operations) weblink for the March 12th Enceladus flyby. As I understand the flyby profile. They couldn't take any pictures at the closest encounter at 50km distance due to the optics system's inability to track images fast enough. Too bad, would be interesting to see images with less than 5 metre resolution.

Surface of Enceladus looks like the tofu in some Chinese soups.
