Caption NASA:"A crescent Enceladus, imaged from its night side, shows off spectacular Water Ice Plumes emanating from its South Polar Regions. This image was captured at a Phase, or Sun-Enceladus-Spacecraft, angle of 157° so that Sunlight would reveal the backlit Plumes. Terrain near the South Pole is now dark as Spring has come to the Northern Hemisphere of the Celestial Body. Lit Terrain seen here is on the Trailing Hemisphere of Enceladus. North is up.

The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Jan. 30, 2011. The view was obtained at a distance of approx. 228.000 Km(such as 141.588 miles) from Enceladus. Image scale is roghly 1 Km (0,621 miles) per pixel".
