Huge plumes of water vapour, extending hundreds of miles into space and similar to Old Faithful in Yellowstone, erupt from near-surface underground reservoirs of liquid water at the south pole of this tiny moon of Saturn in this image taken by the Cassini probe, a surprising find for an otherwise very small and cold planetary body; the plumes are also rich in simple organic materials, making Enceladus a new and exciting place in the search for possible life elsewhere...
The Lakes of Titan
The first lakes found on another world, they appear to have similar characteristics with lakes on Earth, although on cold Titan they are made of liquid methane instead of water. Several dozen have been seen so far in the north polar region.
The Great Wall of Iapetus
One of the most unusual features in the solar system, a bizarre linear ridge, extending up to 20 kilometers tall and over 1,300 kilometers long, which encircles the equator of Iapetus, making this small moon of Saturn look like a walnut...
