Cassini Flies By Saturn's Moon Enceladus
March 10, 2008
 

The Cassini spacecraft makes its closest swing past a Saturnian moon on Mar. 12, 2008. Cassini flies at about 50 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface of Enceladus, skirting along the edges of Old-Faithful-like geysers and scooping up valuable samples of water-ice, dust and gas along the way.
