Gotta love "atmospheric" scattering smile.gif

EDIT: Whoops, can't discount Saturn/rings as a light source..

For grins and giggles, here is an LRGB image of Enceladus using polarization data: LRGB (0, 60, 120 degree polarization filters with GRN) using the CL1 CL2 image for luminance.

Used the fresh white crater at center to balance to white.

Totally oversaturated the colors for effect. Not sure what this all means....a few of the larger cracks up top appear bluish, (more 120 degree polarization?). Some the broader ridges(?) appear cyanish (less 0 degree polarization?)...

Many of the fractures in the top of the image look like dendritic channels. No way they could have been streams, but that is their appearance. And some of the dark areas near the bottom look like rafts of older terrane. Strange region.
