Special release for the Enceladus plume:
http://ciclops.org/view_event.php?id=45 Spray Above Enceladus http://ciclops.org/view.php?id=1652 this release shows the infamous images from January showing a brighting of the limb of Enceladus. Because this looked similar to artifacts seen at other moons, this was brushed off as an artifact as well. However, more indepth analysis of this sequence of images revealed that the" plume" was in fact real. Fountains of Enceladus http://ciclops.org/view.php?id=1688 In perhaps the fastest image release ever, this release shows the new jets found near in the south polar region of Enceladus. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!

That really was fast! I would have expected at least a week's worth of sleep-overs before you guys would come up with something -------------------- |
