"...Enceladus is six times smaller than Europa"

Not possible. Perhaps 1/6 the size of Europa?

I don't like it either but it's a common colloquialism, isn't it? You see it all the time: 'n times smaller than x' means x/n.

Makes sense in a way: 'n times larger' means you multiply the quantity in question by n -- 'n times smaller' means you multiply the quantity in question by one over n. 'Ya don't see it much in the math journals though!
