At the disposal of scientists turned a new photo of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, which was made of the probe, the Probe Cassini.
The outer body against the background of Saturn looks like a small dot. The scientific staff had previously considered that the satellite is a dead body, but the probe was able to change the belief of people.
Enceladus was discovered geological activity, which is expressed in the action of geysers. Scientists are using the images of the probe were able to determine that the geysers stands out water vapor and dust particles from the surface of the satellite. The photo was taken the space a wide-angle camera Cassini on 25 may 2015 and on the website space Agency NASA it appeared only 2 may 2016.
Probe when shooting uses a spectral filter capable of capturing infrared light. The camera took the photo at a distance of 1.5 million kilometers from Saturn. The probe has allowed scientists to obtain many images that opened new sides of the satellite, as well as the Saturn.
Many experts have searched the planet and its satellites, water vapor, or the conditions for the emergence of living organisms. For a long time it was thought that on Saturn and its satellites are missing any geological processes.
