Every now and again, I like to post an image that just speaks volumes. Check this one out, of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Wow! What a beauty. This photograph was taken on Monday by the Cassini spacecraft. Enceladus may host liquid water below the surface, since it has geyser-like features near its south pole. There are only three places beyond the asteroid belt where eruptions have been seen: Enceladus, the jovian moon Io, and Neptune's moon Triton. Enceladus is only a few hundred miles wide; These fractures are about 1000 feet deep.
