Enhanced-color images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft have revealed long, reddish streaks across one of Saturn's moons.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has been hanging out near Saturn since 2004, studying the planet's icy moons. In this image taken in mid-May, Mimas and Pandora, two of Saturn's 62 confirmed moons, hang out around 730,000 miles away from Cassini's narrow-angle camera.

The Cassini spacecraft has been busy over this past week, making close flybys of both Enceladus and and Tethys, two of Saturn's moons. And we're not using "close" as a relative term here. Cassini skimmed Enceladus in such proximity that it was literally able to taste the plume of water ice, vapour, and other organic compounds spewing from the moon's south polar region.
