Map of Enceladus, February 2010

This mosaic shows an updated global map of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys. The map incorporates new images taken during flybys in October and November 2009.

 

This map is an update to the version released in October 2009. Like other recent Enceladus global maps, this mosaic was shifted by 3.5 degrees to the west, compared to 2006 versions, to be consistent with the International Astronomical Union longitude definition for Enceladus.
