This three-image mosaic handout photo is the highest resolution view ever obtained of the north polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The view looks southward over cratered plains from high above the north pole of Enceladus. Cassini spacecraft took the image on March 12, 2008, when it flew over the surface of the moon as part of a joint US-European mission. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 20,000 miles (32,000 km) above Enceladus. [Agencies]
