Nice RGB sequence showing Enceladus passing in front of Titan:

The size comparison points are valid, and of course surface area, rather than volume, is the relevant statistic when seeking to do anything with the surface (pin down a vent location, search for a possible landing site, et cetera). Still, keep in mind that according to these standards, Cassini's original picture on the thread is a bad comparison - nowhere does it show relative areas!
Because of the negative reaction to the "comparing a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional object," I decided that this time I'd show both as three-dimensional objects (well, as best one can on a flat screen). This way, they'll be equally misrepresented! laugh.gif
