What's also striking is how obvious the plumes are - even in the RAW unprocessed images posted online.

Enceledus has been a mission star almost as bright as Titan. To see those plumes so clearly, and they have been on the hunt !! NASA/ESA should consider an Enceledus lander to complement a Europa mission and follow-up for Titan. |
