Here's the view of Enceladus during the plume search tomorrow:
 Both Saturn and the sun are on practically the opposite side of Enceladus from Cassini during the observation (sun phase angle 162 degrees; Saturn phase angle 164 degees). The sub-Cassini point on Enceladus will be 0.8 degrees N, 171 degrees W--so the limb is approximately the 81W/99E meridians. -------------------- |

QUOTE (jmknapp @ Nov 26 2005, 11:02 PM) Here's the view of Enceladus during the plume search tomorrow: Looks like they need to use the serendipity filter.
 -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

QUOTE (ElkGroveDan @ Nov 27 2005, 12:15 AM) Looks like they need to use the serendipity filter. Hurrah for a remarkably effective use of the "serendipity filter"!  Maybe they can name Enceladus' south pole "Serendip"?
