| Description |
8 frame extended RGB (IR3, GRN, UV3 filter) image of Enceladus taken during the Rev 131 (E10) flyby on May 18, 2010. This mosaic is produced at a normalized spacecraft distance of ~19,000 km. The surface of Enceladus is relatively colorless in visible light, but color variations can be seen when including portions of the ultraviolet and infrared. Tectonically active faults appear to be slicked with fresh ice, which appears bright blue in this color combination. These faults are numerous in the moon's heavily tectonized leading hemisphere. Dusty material spiralling in towards Saturn is also swept up onto the surface on this hemisphere, leading to the accumulation of material that is slightly reddish in color, lending a yellowish tinge to the parts of the moon facing forward in its orbit.
