    This astounding image of Enceladus and its water jets was taken by the Cassini spacecraft on Aug. 13, 2010 from a distance of 59,000 km.

    The bottom half of the image contains Saturn, observed from its night side, with its atmosphere backlit by the sun.

    The image was processed and colorized by Gordan Ugarković.
