New Enceladus image http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...fm?imageID=2006 It never hit me until I saw this image, but the Galilean that Enceladus truly resembles is not Europa but Ganymede. The patches of ancient crust bordered with swirling rounded faults. There is surely a great size difference leading to differences in how features scale, and Enceladus seems not to have been pounded with any massive impacts the way Ganymede (and most saturnian icy satellites) had, and, of course, Enceladus has a living surface today while Ganymede seems not to. But the crustal dynamics on Enceladus today seem to resemble those on Ganymede maybe 3GYA. Europa, with its entirely reworked crust, is an entirely different beast. Maybe there's a continuum of cumulative activity that goes: Dione/Tethys Miranda Ganymede/Enceladus Triton? (may play by categorically different rules) Europa etc. |
