Enceladus gets its close-up

There will certainly be more and better pictures from this flyby, but NASA released the first pictures from the last flyby of Enceladus by Cassini.

The goal of this flyby was to sample the stuff coming out of the moon, i.e., the composition of the geysers).

And can I just say how amazingly successful this mission has been?  It's nearly over, but it has operated almost flawlessly and sent back absolutely stunning pictures.  In addition, it's made some really significant discoveries.   My favorite is still the gravity gores from the shepherd moons (such as in this picture).

And may I also note that we still don't know what the bright white spots on Ceres are.
