Found at SpaceWeather:
--- Space artist Merry Wooten anticipated the discovery two decades ago:  Wooten had a hunch that Saturn's powerful tides might cause geothermal activity on Enceladus. Her painting of the resulting ice-geysers first appeared in a planetarium show, "When Worlds Erupt," in 1986. --- I want more. Where are other Enceladus artists? -------------------- - blue_scape / Nico -

Notice that for Saturn's rings to be almost parallel to the horizon, as they are in that painting, you have to be near one of the poles.

Michael Is that true? I thought Titan's orbit was coplanar with the rings, and that its axial inclination is nearly zero wrt Saturn...if so, I'd expect the rings to look practically edge-on and level to the horizon from almost any point on Titan's surface. However, the low elevation of Saturn with respect to the horizon does imply that the scene is set at a high latitude...whether north or south, I can't tell! 
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
