Erupting Enceladus over Saturn from Voyager 1
Erupting Enceladus over Saturn from Voyager 1 On November 13, 1980, Voyager 1 captured Enceladus and Saturn. These images, processed by Ted Stryk over 35 years later, captured Enceladus' plumes—long before their discovery by the Cassini spacecraft. NASA / JPL-Caltech / Ted Stryk
