Enceladus-PIA11697.jpgThe South Pole of Enceladus56 visiteCaption NASA:"This wide-angle image shows the South Polar Region of Saturn's moon Enceladus and outlines the area covered by the High-Resolution mosaic combining data from the Imaging Science Subsystem and Composite InfraRed Spectrometer onboard the NASA's Cassini Spacecraft (see the frame PIA11696).
The outlined area focuses on Baghdad Sulcus, a fracture in the South Polar Region.
Cassini captured the data for this wide-angle image during the Spacecraft's close Fly-By of the moon that occurred on Nov. 21st, 2009. This image and others from that Fly-By are among the best Visible Light images that Cassini will capture of the Region around the so-called "Tiger Stripes" - such as those Fissures that keep spraying icy particles, water vapor and organic compounds -, before the moon's South Polar Region enters Winter darkness for the coming years.
This wide-angle view shows not only Baghdad Sulcus, but also other nearby Fractures. The Lit Terrain seen here is on the Leading hemisphere and Saturn-facing Side of Enceladus.
The South Pole lies in shadow near the bottom middle of the image.
The wide-angle view was acquired at a distance of approx. 2000 Km (such as about 1200 miles) from Enceladus and at a Sun-Enceladus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 114°.
Scale in the wide-angle view is approx. 116 meters (381 feet) per pixel".MareKromiumMar 03, 2010

Japetus-PIA12556.jpgPlanet or Planetoid?56 visiteCaption NASA:"The oblate shape of the moon Japetus is particularly noticeable in this portrait.
The two-toned surface of the moon Japetus also stands out against the darkness of space in this image.
This view looks toward the Saturn-facing Side of Japetus. North is up and rotated 26° to the left.
Scale in the original image was about 22 Km (approx. 14 miles) per pixel.
The image was contrast enhanced and magnified by a factor of three to enhance the visibility of surface features.
The image was taken in Visible Light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 16, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 3,6 MKM (about 2,2 MMs) from Japetus and at a Sun-Japetus-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 27°".MareKromiumMar 01, 2010
