英文原文:Explanation: Peering from the shadows, the Saturn-facing hemisphere of tantalizing inner moon Enceladus poses in this Cassini spacecraft image. North is up in the dramatic scene captured during November 2016 as Cassini's camera was pointed in a nearly sunward direction about 130,000 kilometers from the moon's bright crescent. In fact, the distant world reflects over 90 percent of the sunlight it receives, giving its surface about the same reflectivity as fresh snow . A mere 500 kilometers in diameter, Enceladus is a surprisingly active moon. Data and images collected during Cassini's flybys have revealed water vapor and ice grains spewing from south polar geysers and evidence of an ocean of liquid water hidden beneath the moon's icy crust. 说明: 在这张卡西尼号太空船拍摄的照片中,引人入胜的内侧卫星土卫二[6]之面向土星的半球从阴影中探出头来,令人着迷。 这幅壮丽的景象[7]拍摄于2016年11月,当时卡西尼号的相机几乎朝向太阳,距离土卫二明亮的月牙形约13万公里。照片中,北方[8]朝上。 事实上,这个遥远的天体反射了超过90%接收到的阳光,使其表面的反射率与新雪[9]几乎相同。 直径仅500公里的土卫二是一颗令人惊讶的[10]活跃卫星。 卡西尼号飞掠土卫二期间收集的数据和图像显示,其南极间歇泉喷发出水蒸气和冰粒,并且在土卫二冰壳下隐藏着液态水海洋的证据[11]也已显现。
