Just 8 days until the next Enceladus encounter.

CICLOPS Rev 80 Looking Ahead will appear here soon.

Cassini Enceladus 080EN Mission Description is here now.

We get to fly through the south polar jets again.

There is some chance. But keep in mind that the sub-solar point is pretty close to the sub-Saturn point during the encounter, so areas illuminated by Saturn would also be illuminated by the Sun.

During the eclipse, well, you'd be seeing the same areas we would be seeing immediately before the eclipse starts, at good resolution, in sunlight.
