Coolest Photo You Will Ever SEE! (moon Enceladus)

Posted on 03/09/2006 2:26:03 PM PST by AZRepublican

A masterpiece of deep time and wrenching gravity, the tortured surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus and its fascinating ongoing geologic activity tell the story of the ancient and present struggles of one tiny world. This is a story that is recounted by imaging scientists in a paper published in the journal Science on March 10, 2006.

A few questions:

How cold is it over there?

Who named this place Enceladus?

What's the gravity like?

How many Starbucks are already there?

What do you mean, does he have a link?

Right click the image and select Copy Image location.

Or, if you use a brain dead browser like microsoft, right click image and select properties, and then copy the link.
