View from Cassini during the November 21, 2009 Enceladus flyby Prior to the November 21, 2009 flyby of Enceladus, Cassini scientists planned to use the opportunity for a long look at Baghdad Sulcus. The CIRS instrument was given more than two hours to pan its slit-shaped detectors (magenta and blue lines) along the fissure. The narrow-angle camera also grabbed images near closest approach (green squares). NASA / JPL-Caltech / SSI
