Oooo, The Big Picture has taken on Enceladus. Awesome.

Enceladus is a small moon of Saturn, and Cassini has been sending back totally incredible images of it. The one above I hadn't seen before, and it's spectacular! Those little nodules of ice are actually a couple of hundred meters across. Go look at the rest of them. Seriously, wow.
