Saturn's Satellite, Enceladus, from 112,000 km

Voyager 2 image of Saturn's satellite, Enceladus, taken from a distance of 112,000 km. This 500 km diameter moon appears to be one of the more active bodies in the solar system, with heavily cratered areas, large sub-parallel grooves, and smooth plains exposed on its surface. The heavily cratered north polar region is at upper left. The resolution of this image is about 1 km/pixel. (Voyager 2, FDS 44004.28)
