Ice jets venting on Saturn’s moon Enceladus, captured by the Cassini robot in 2009. The giant plumes of ice (water turned to ice as it vents into the frigid vaccuum) are now thought to be indicative of a giant ocean miles beneath the moon’s ice crust. (Click to biggerize the photo.)
At an average distance of 93 million miles from Earth, shoot, you could make Enceladus (a giant in Greek myth) a weekender. Some day. Maybe. When the solar system becomes our playground.
