Uploader comment: NASA's Cassini spacecraft zoomed by Saturn's icy moon Enceladus on October 14, 2015, capturing this stunning image of the moon's north pole. Scientists expected the north polar region of Enceladus to be heavily cratered, based on low-resolution images from the Voyager mission, but high-resolution Cassini images show a landscape of stark contrasts.
