I refer to the high res image of Enceladus. I suspect a pixel size of about 6-7 meters because the distance is 545km acc. RAW data and 2x2 binning of the sensor. These boulders must be really large ones !
IMHO the larger distance results from the other black images, that shows smaller distances than Enceldaus radius (for example W00009338.jpg in 210 km distance).
Further it could be still larger away because of the oblique angle of this particular shot. cool.gif

Obviously, remnants of surficial cracking from either gravitic stresses on Enceladus or from internal stresses which caused upwelling from the cracks.

Europa, anyone? This looks like extensive cracking atop a liquid ocean...
