Here's another animation, a much less frenetic, real-time view of the first four minutes or so after closest approach:
Enceladus Aug. 2008 flyby, real-time (60MB mpg file) It starts just before closest approach with the ISS cameras pointing out into space (almost due north). The cameras fixate on the Cairo tiger stripe (vent E) for quite a while. This is only the first four minutes--looks like there's about a half-hour of ISS time possible before the eclipse. -------------------- |
