It was taken using Cassini's narrow-angle camera at a distance of 1.3 million km from Enceladus and about 1 million km from Saturn. Image scale on Enceladus is 8 km/per pixel. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were assembled to create the natural colour view.
The Cassini–Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and the Italian Space Agency.
