This Cassini image on the right was the fourth 'skeet shoot' narrow-angle image captured during the October 31, 2008, flyby of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The source region for
jet VI (see PIA08385) has been identified. The image was taken with the
Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera at a distance of approximately 3,417 kilometers (2,135 miles) from Enceladus and at a
sun-Enceladus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 75 degrees. Image scale is 38 meters per pixel (125 feet) per pixel.

The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Oct. 31, 2008, at a distance of approximately 1,691 kilometers (1,056 miles) from Enceladus and at a sun-Enceladus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 78 degrees. Image scale is 9 meters per pixel (29 feet) per pixel. Image credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a
cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, manages the mission for
NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the
Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado.
