Enceladus is the moon of Saturn that is ejecting stuff from its surface at the south pole.

These images (raw) were apparently taken only today (which is remarkably fast for images to get from spacecraft to public).
Some of these are very impressive and I look forawrd to seeing them after processing. The ejections are dramatic in some of the images - which aren't so obvious on the the thumbnails. Click on the thumbnail to go direct to larger view.

Wow Mark, yet again some seriously impressive pictures there again, you can easily see the 'geysers' yet again coming from the cracks. It's a stunning system altogether, even outside of Enceladus, take a look at this shot of Saturn, you can download the TIFF file, the detail is incredible.
