What is Enceladus?
Enceladus is the sixth largest month of Saturn. It is significant for its Albedo 100%, which means it reflects almost all incoming light and has an almost white look, with blue formations "tiger stripe". Some of the most amazing space photographs focus on the Enceladus between Saturn's rings. Enceladus is named after the titan of the same name from Greek mythology.
Enceladus is small: diameter 504 km. It is small enough to differ in its sphere by a factor of several percent; It's a flattened ellipsoid. As long as the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 made Saturn, Enceladus was known about Enceladus, because it turned out only as a dot on the strongest telescopes. When they were flying and taking photographs and measurements, scientists received a lot of information about Enceladus and other Saturn months. The most remarkable aspect was that some of the Enceladus planes had barely no craters.
Encoladus has a moon with a surface geography with very different age, some areas at the age of 100 million years. Enceladus is geologically active as discovered by the recent Cassini spacecraft that has explored Saturn and months at the beginning until the mid -1920s. A cloud of water, heat coming from the planet and almost complete lack of craters in the southern polar region was observed, which show geological activity. Regarding the source of cryovovolcanism, it is assumed that deep warm rocks formed by a tidal heating feeding of a small underground pocket, which in turn release the pressure to the surface on the path of the least resistance.
Enceladus is probably the main source of particles for Saturn's outermost ring, a dusty, scattered ring. Because its escape speed is only 866 km/h, some percentage of Cryomagma Escape's Enceladus' Grasp during the most intense eruption. This has been observed on the probes with the images of the Enceladus.
The size of the Endlaladus is comparable to the states of Arizona or Colorado. Has a lineTectonic features of the originally discovered companies Voyager 2, including scarves, ridges, troughs and grooves. Some cracks on its surface are up to 200 km long, 5-10 km wide and one km deep.
