Enceladus' "Jets"!
Caption NASA originale:"An enhanced close-up view shows at least two distinct jets spraying a mist of fine particles from the South Polar Region of Enceladus. The particles in the plume scatter Sunlight most effectively at high Sun-Enceladus-spacecraft angles, or phase angles, making the plumes appear bright. 
This image shows the night side of Saturn and the active moon against dark sky.
Some artifacts due to image compression and cosmic rays striking the camera's detector remain as "noise" in the image. 

The image was acquired in polarized green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 4, 2006 at a distance of approx. 2,1 MKM (about 1,3 MMs) from Enceladus and 2,3 MKM (about 1,4 MMs) from Saturn. The image was taken at a Sun-Enceladus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 159°. Image scale is roughly 13 Km (about 8 miles) per pixel".
