This image was taken during Cassini's closest-ever approach to Enceladus on March 9, 2005. The image was taken with the narrow angle camera using filters sensitive to wavelengths of ultraviolet light centered at 338 nanometers. The image was acquired from a distance of approximately 55,000 kilometers (34,000 miles) from Enceladus and at a Sun-Enceladus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 47 degrees. Resolution in the image is about 300 meters (1,000 feet) per pixel.
