Enceladus up close: NASA's Cassini orbiter pictures

Some very incredible pictures of Enceladus upclose - and I mean close. It came as near as 15 miles to the surface.

I think the second picture is my favorite. But how fascinating, seeing such detail when it's so far away. I still find it amazing that we can do such things.

AWESOME pictures...

and I agree.. it is truly amazing what humans are becoming capable of..

the funny thing is, I wonder how many VCRs in the world today are still blinking 12:00 because they cant figure out how to set the time..

I think it is probably sheer lazyness. It is a wonder that we got up there at all..

Absolutely humblingly beautiful, the conspiracy theorist in me of course couldint help looking for bases and towers, but I just had to sit back and awe at these pictures, majestic.

Same with me;looking for"bases"and "towers",but whats the point?The pictures are too amazing!

Amazing stuff. I especially like 12th one, the sense of scale is unbelievable.
