Saturn and Enceladus (in ultra-violet)
|
Caption NASA originale:"Looking beyond Saturn's south pole, this was the Cassini spacecraft's view of the distant, icy moon, Enceladus on July 28, 2004. The planet itself shows few obvious features at these ultraviolet wavelengths, due to scattering of light by molecules of the gases high in the atmosphere. Enceladus is 499 Km wide.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera at a distance of 7.4 MKM from Saturn through a filter sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths of light. The image scale is 44 Km per pixel of Saturn".
