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.


Dawn Interplanetary probe is 1260 days from rendezvous with asteroid Vesta.


New Horizons Interplanetary probe is 2678 days from closest approach to the Pluto and Charon system.
