Saturn's moon Enceladus. At the bottom of the picture is its south pole with the tiger stripes from which the water jets come out, arising from an ocean of liquid water hiding under an outer layer of ice. The new study indicates that this ice layer is much thinner than previously thought in the South Pole region, which could greatly aid a future research mission to the Moon.

Enceladus' sub-ice ocean may be very close to the surface

One of the new close-up photos taken by Cassini on December 18, 2016. This photo shows part of Cassini's A ring, the outer of its two large rings, and is approximately 134 km from the planet. The photo was taken from a distance of 56,000 km . On the left side of the image you can see the route known by NASA as "straw", caused by small clusters of the tiny ice particles that make up Saturn's rings. The straw itself is visible on top of waves in the ring, which are created by the gravitational influence of the moons Epimetheus and Janus. In the rest The image shows the gravitational "traces" of the moon Pan.Source: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute.
