Dec. 15, 2008: Saturn's Dynamic Moon Enceladus Shows More Signs of Activity
PASADENA, Calif. The closer scientists look at Saturn's small moon Enceladus, the more they find evidence of an active world. The most recent
flybys of Enceladus made by NASA's Cassini spacecraft have provided new signs of ongoing changes on and around the moon. The latest high-resolution images
of Enceladus show signs that the south polar surface changes over time.
