Boulder-Strewn Surface -- Wide Angle Camera View Target Name:   Enceladus Spacecraft:   Cassini Orbiter Instrument:   Imaging Science Subsystem - Wide Angle Produced by:   NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute Copyright:  NASA Copyright Free Policy Cross Reference:   PIA06251 Date Taken:   14 July 2005 Related Documents Enceladus Cassini At Saturn Saturn Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size PIA06251.jpg JPEG 640 x 640 121K PIA06251.jpg JPEG 1016 x 1016 267K PIA06251.tif TIFF 1016 x 1016 749K This wide-angle view is one of the highest resolution images yet acquired by Cassini and shows what appears to be a geologically youthful, tectonically fractured terrain. A higher resolution, narrow-angle view of the center of the terrain shown here is available (see PIA06252), as well as a comparison view showing the position of the narrow-angle image within this image (see PIA06250). The image was taken during Cassini's very close flyby of Enceladus on July 14, 2005, from a distance of approximately 208 kilometers (129 miles) above Enceladus. Resolution in the image is about 37 meters (121 feet) per pixel. The image's contrast has been enhanced to improve the visibility of surface features.
