Caption NASA:"The Cassini Spacecraft acquired this view of Enceladus just after the Spacecraft passed within 25 Km (approx. 15 miles) of the surface on Oct. 9, 2008. Remarkably, only a handful of craters are visible in this view, indicating the relatively young age of this surface.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 9, 2008 at a distance of approx. 38.000 Km (about 24.000 miles) from Enceladus and at a Sun-Enceladus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 73°.
Image scale is 228 meters (746 feet) per pixel".
