Caption: NASA’s Cassini spacecraft captured this view of Saturn’s moon Enceladus that displays wrinkled plains that are remarkably youthful in physical appearance, currently being frequently totally free of substantial affect craters. When considered with north pointing up, as in this graphic, the working day-night time boundary line (or terminator) cuts diagonally throughout Enceladus, with Saturn approaching its northern summer time solstice. The lit portion on all of Saturn’s substantial, icy moons, like Enceladus and Saturn itself, is now centered on their northern hemispheres. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute
