This image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Nov. The bright speck to the right of Enceladus is a distant star. Just visible at the moon’s south pole (at bottom here) is the plume of water ice particles and other material that constantly spews from that ocean via fractures in the ice. Beneath its icy exterior shell, Enceladus hides a global ocean of liquid water. Saturn’s moon Enceladus drifts before the rings, which glow brightly in the sunlight.

24, 2017, when Juno was at a latitude of 57.57 degrees (nearly three-fifths of the way from Jupiter’s equator to its north pole) and performing its ninth close flyby of the gas giant planet.Īfter more than 13 years at Saturn, and with its fate sealed, our Cassini spacecraft bid farewell to the Saturnian system by firing the shutters of its wide-angle camera and capturing this last, full mosaic of Saturn and its rings two days before the spacecraft’s dramatic plunge into the planet’s atmosphere on Sept. Our Juno spacecraft captured this image when the spacecraft was only 11,747 miles (18,906 kilometers) from the tops of Jupiter’s clouds – that’s roughly as far as the distance between New York City and Perth, Australia. The color-enhanced image, which captures a cloud system in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere, was taken on Oct. Some of the faults produced a clean break along the layers, displacing and offsetting individual beds.ĭesktop: 1280 x 800 | 1600 x 1200 | 1920 x 1200
