Only one released thus far. As I understood the flyby briefing, they were planning to capture quite a few images. They are most likely embargoed since part of the flyby goals was to characterize the type of terrain is ejecting the material (curtains, jets or a mix). I sent them a message on twitter asking if this was the case and didn't get a response. If anyone else wants to chime in and confirm, that would be great to know for sure.

From http://www.ciclops.org/view/8211/Rev224:
"Afterward, the Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) will be prime, including during closest approach. INMS will directly measure the composition of gas in the jets of Enceladus's south polar plume during closest approach. The Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) will perform similar measurements of the dust in the plume. ISS will acquire five Wide-Angle-Camera (WAC) images during closest approach while riding along with INMS, though images may be pointed off Enceladus or pointed on the dark side of the moon's day/night terminator." The other four frames at closest approach were either acquired when the camera wasn't pointed at Enceladus, or when the FOV had passed the terminator. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!

There is no embargo on Cassini raw images; everything goes straight to the website.

Are these Saturn aurora inages? I can see a wispy vertical stripe of some kind there: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...1/N00250271.jpg Yes, at South Pole... it's fantastic and always fascinating Video: https://flic.kr/p/zLRW5S @vikingmars: thanks! -------------------- |

fwiw anaglyph taken from a couple approach images of the E-21 flyby, plus a parellel on some of the tigerstripe detail
