Hey, those are receding shots, e.g.:
N00118300.jpg "N00118300.jpg was taken on August 12, 2008 and received on Earth August 12, 2008. The camera was pointing toward ENCELADUS at approximately 202,865 kilometers away..." Is the science advisor being briefed?  -------------------- |

QUOTE (elakdawalla @ Aug 12 2008, 03:03 PM) Some inbound shots there now... Yep, a couple from 109,000 km out. Actually almost all the money shots will be outbound, past closest approach. Should be a couple more inbound at around 40,000 km though. -------------------- |

Paolo:
Stray light, most likely from Enceladus itself. This is the reason I'm skeptical any plumes can be seen while sunlit terrain is actually in the frame, be they silhouetted against the blackness of space or not. The plumes are very tenuous. -------------------- |

There are a few more up -- looks like they are not the skeet-shoot, they are frames from the post-CA multispectral mosaic...

Veronica, be sure to to send our sincerest thank you to the team folks for going that extra mile when they really aren't obliged to! Amateur enthusiasts do appreciate gestures like that.

Couple of eclipse photos up there now...
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...iImageID=165851 http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...iImageID=165852 A general plea to folks: if you are going to link to images, please link to the HTML pages and not the JPG image files. That way we can see useful information like the filter choices and the range to the target. If you have questions, having that information makes it much easier to answer. In response to your question, Roby72, those were taken in eclipse. It won't be Saturnshine, since Enceladus is in Saturn's shadow. We're seeing ringshine, and Anne Verbiscer said that Titanshine would also play a role. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
