Combined from 3 images taken in red, green and blue filters, this color composite image of Enceladus shows the little moon’s fractured terrain, varying from a heavily cratered north polar region to the corrugated texture of its mid-latitudes to the deep twisted grooves of its famous southern “tiger stripes”, the sources of its ice geysers (not visible here.) The raw images that made up this color version were taken during Cassini’s April 7 flyby of Dione.

Only 318 miles at its widest, Enceladus is shown here lit by the sun on the right and dimly illuminated by reflected light from Saturn on the left.
