DEUTSCH: Das räumliche Bild ("Stereobild", "3-D-Bild") vom 17. Februar 2005 (003EN-Vorbeiflug) zeigt sehr schön Bergrücken und Krater auf Enceladus. Die Höhe der Bergrücken liegt bei einem Kilometer. Die Bildauflösung im Rotkanal beträgt 60 m/pxl, im Grünblau-Kanal 150 m/pxl. ENGLISH: The Cassini narrow angle camera took images of Enceladus' ropy, taffy-like topography from many different angles as it flew by on February 17, 2005. Images from different directions allow construction of stereo views such as this, which are helpful in interpreting the complex topography. This view, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) across, shows several different kinds of ridge-and-trough topography, indicative of a variety of horizontal forces near the surface of this 505 kilometer (314 mile) diameter satellite. Several different kinds of deformation are visible, and a small population of impact craters shows that this is some of the younger terrain on Enceladus. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the bottom. Interestingly, the topographic relief is only about one kilometer, which is quite low for a small, low gravity satellite. However, this is consistent with other evidence that points to interior melting and resurfacing in Enceladus' history. The images for this anaglyph were taken in visible light with the narrow angle camera, from distances ranging from 10,750 kilometers (6,680 miles, red image) to 24,861 kilometers (15,448 miles, blue image) from Enceladus and at Sun-Enceladus-spacecraft, or phase, angles from 32 to 27 degrees. Pixel scale in the red image is 60 meters (197 feet) per pixel; scale in the blue image is 150 meters (492 feet) per pixel. | |||||||||||||
