This image of the Southern Regions of the Saturnian moon Enceladus was taken in Visible Light with the NASA - Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 13, 2011. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 26.000 miles (such as about 41.842,84 Km) from Enceladus and at a Phase Angle of 52°. Image scale is roughly 830 feet (253 meters) per pixel.

 

This frame has been colorized in Absolute Natural Colors by (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Cassini Spacecraft and then looked towards the Saturnian moon Enceladus), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically emproved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.
