Saturn's Brightly Reflective Moon Enceladus  A brightly reflective Enceladus appears before Saturn's rings, while the planet's larger moon Titan looms in the distance. Jets of water ice and vapor emanating from the south pole of Enceladus, which hint at subsurface sea rich in organics, and liquid hydrocarbons ponding on the surface on the surface of Titan make these two of the most fascinating moons in the Saturnian system. Enceladus (313 miles, or 504 kilometers across) is in the center of the image. Titan (3,200 miles, or 5,150 kilometers across) glows faintly in the background beyond the rings. This view looks toward the anti-Saturn side of Enceladus and the Saturn-facing side of Titan. The northern, sunlit side of the rings is seen from just above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on March 12, 2012. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 600,000 miles (1 million kilometers) from Enceladus and at a Sun-Enceladus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 36 degrees. Image scale is 4 miles (6 kilometers) per pixel on Enceladus. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute Read More Planned books:None Current books:

Feeling a lil bit cold, are we, SJS?
Ha, well, *we* were the ones raised in the pre-global warming Nebraskan winters – the rest, well, they are a decidedly more warm blooded
-SJS
Pre-global warming, nothin’. I can’t speak as to Nebraska for sure, but Iowa has been downright frigid the past month. I’m talking sub zero air temperatures with below -20 wind chills.
Of course, I love cold weather, so I’m not complaining near as much as the rest of my friends.
