Enhanced view of Enceladus' south pole
Enhanced view of Enceladus' south pole This view of Enceladus' south pole was created using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. To the human eye, Enceladus appears all-white, but here, infrared and ultraviolet views have been included in color to highlight fractures where the moon's subsurface ocean vents into space. The vents are commonly called "tiger stripes." NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
