Little detail is visible on the surface of Saturn's satellite
Enceladus in this color-enhanced image taken by NASA's Voyager 1
on Nov. 12, 1980 from a distance of 655,000 kilometers
(393,000 miles). The lack of visible surface detail on the satellite
indicates that Enceladus' surface is dramatically different
from the surfaces of the other larger Saturnian moons. Voyager 2
will fly much closer to Enceladus (within 90,000 kilometers
or 54,000 miles) when the spacecraft arrives at Saturn in
August 1981, to obtain higher resolution images of the moon.
The Voyager Project is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Pasadena, California.
