Callan already didthis, but I can't resist ... check out this amazing mosaic of Enceladus (moon of Saturn) captured by the Cassini spacecraft.
In an amazingly quick piece of work, the imaging team has already assembled the 8-frame mosaic captured by Cassini as it receded from its close encounter with Enceladus last week. This is a really difficult piece of work. There are 32 separate camera images in this mosaic -- 8 high-resolution images taken through a clear filter to get the detail, and 24 taken at half the resolution through ultraviolet, green, and infrared filters to get the color.
This one is zoomed in a bit ... these patterns are absolutely stunning!
