Double "Space-Lights" on Enceladus! (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)
Caption NASA:"As the Cassini Spacecraft began its August 2008 flyby of Enceladus, the spacecraft approached over the moon's cratered North Pole. Cassini acquired this view as the icy moon grew ever larger in its field of view. 
In addition to the sunlit crescent at upper right, the faint glow at bottom indicates a secondary source of illumination: reflected sunlight from Saturn (a.k.a.: "Saturnshine"). 
The view looks toward high Northern Latitudes on Enceladus from a perspective of 71° North of the moon's Equator. 
The North Pole is in shadow at center. 

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 11, 2008. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 448.000 Km (such as about 278.000 miles) from Enceladus and at a Phase Angle of 113°. 
Image scale at maximum resolution is approx. 3 Km (a little less than 2 miles) per pixel".
