NASA wrote:

Enceladus [en-SELL-ah-dus] is one of the brightest objects in our solar system. Covered in water ice that reflects sunlight like freshly fallen snow, Enceladus reflects almost 100 percent of the sunlight that strikes it. Because Enceladus reflects so much sunlight, the surface temperature is extremely cold, about -201° C (-330° F).



Enceladus Multimedia Gallery

About as wide as Arizona, Enceladus is quite similar in size to Mimas but has a smoother, brighter surface. Unlike Mimas, Enceladus displays at least five different types of terrain. Parts of the moon show craters no larger than 35 kilometers (about 22 miles) in diameter. Other areas show regions with no craters indicating major resurfacing events in the geologically recent past. There are fissures, plains, corrugated terrain and other crustal deformations. All of this indicates that the interior of the moon may be liquid today, even though it should have been frozen eons ago. Enceladus' surface is believed to be geologically "young," possibly less than 100 million years old.


Snow resort anyone? We can handle a baller -330° F. Quit wussing out.

Very awesome. There are actually a lot of fascinating moons of Saturn and Jupiter I believe, but I forget which are which. Europa and Ganymede come to mind.

Yeah, I love moons more than planets sometimes. Europa and Ganymede are two of Jupiter's four moons. With Io and Europa being the other two.

In total I think Jupiter has like 60ish moons, but these four moons mimicked a galaxy as studied by Galileo.

Well, Jupiter has lots of moons but really only these four matter since they are the vast majority when measured by mass. I was surpirsed by how much.

Someone should do a chart like that for the mass of the planets...we'd be such a tiny part
