| Another "Mutual Event" (one of the VERY many...) has occurred in the Saturnian moon-System: this time, the still Geologically Active moon Enceladus (also known as the "Snow Moon" and now famous in the Scientific Community because of its huge South Polar Geysers that, almost continuosly, keep spraying ice and dust-particles in the Space of Saturn) seems to run away - and in a hurry! - behind the apparently calm (and certainly Geologically dead and long-time frozen) Saturnian moon Dione, that gently shows to the cameras of the NASA - Cassini Spacecraft its bizarre-looking face, completely covered with ancient Impact Craters and an extensive System of Bright Surface Fractures. |
