The Snows of Enceladus

Uploaded by galsat400 on May 24, 2011
This flyover of Saturn's geologically active icy moon Enceladus shows a fractured area at about 55 S latitude. The broken fractured rim of an older impact crater forms the highest topography. Much of the surface in between the larger kilometer deep fractures is smooth, suggesting that these areas have been blanketed by a thick deposit. This material is fine-grained particles falling from the nearby icy/gassy plume jets at the south pole, giving the surface a resemblance to terrains covered by heavy snowfall or volcanic ash. This perspective flyover was rendered using digital topography of the area generated by Dr. Paul Schenk (Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston) and features an area roughly 20 kilometers wide. Vertical exaggeration is roughly a factor of 8 to 10.
