Crescent Enceladus (Natural Colors; credits: Lunar Explorer Italia)

Caption NASA:"Sunrise uncovers both old and new Enceladus in this image from the Cassini Spacecraft. The lit side of the moon faces Saturn in this view of the Trailing Hemisphere. Old craters still pockmark the Northern Hemisphere while more recent geologic activity has swept them away in the South. North is on the right (Dx) in this image.
Mountain Ranges, a.k.a. "Dorsae", undulate across the moon's surface near the Equator.
From this high northern viewing angle, the South Pole's fascinating "Tiger Stripe Area" lies just out of view. Sulci, a.k.a. "furrows", in that area, are the sources of icy plumes being studied by Cassini scientists.
(See also PIA07800 and PIA09761).
Also near the Tiger Stripes are rift segments that resemble the zigzag patterns seen on Earth of sea-floor spreading from upwelling magma. See PIA11138 for a comparison of the phenomena.
Like outstretched fingers, the Samarkand Sulci reach from the West toward the North Pole, clearing their path of craters and slicing some in half.

This Natural Colors mosaic combines narrow-angle camera images obtained through UltraViolet, Green, and near-InfraRed camera filters. The images were acquired on Dec. 2, 2008 at a distance of approx. 124.000 Km (such as about 77.000 miles) from Enceladus and at a Sun-Enceladus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 116°.
Image scale is roughly 742 meters (2430 feet) per pixel".
