Just to recall...
In February 2005 a couple of mad team members correctly identified these features in the first flyby images, and one of them wrote: "what about the halo/plume in the bottom? If is real (not due to camera/lens artifacts or bright surface reflections), source probably lies in large meridional fractured regions"
(see here).
At that time, very few believed to this interpretation... rolleyes.gif

I'm sorry some of you feel misled regarding the early Enceladus images, but for a number of months, there was significant work performed to make sure what were seeing wasn't some camera artifact, as had been thought when comparing high phase images of various moons. Dilo did end up being right, but that doesn't reduce the significance of carefully examing the images before announcing this type of discovery.
