NASA has released photos of Enceladus. On Friday, the pictures of Saturn`s icy moon were released. The pictures have been taken by the Cassini space craft. The probe flew just 30 miles above the moon`s surface.
A NASA official said, Cassini`s stunning images are providing us a quick look at Enceladus from this ultra-close flyby, but some of the most exciting science is yet to come.
The space craft has also collected ice particle and gas samples available in the area near Enceladus. These samples will be tested to see if there may be an ocean below the surface of the moon. If there is hypothermic activity, this makes the moon an option to explore for habitable environment.
