McEwen,Torrence V. Johnson,Julie A. Rathbun,J. Veverka,Daren Wilson,Jason Perry,Joseph N. Spitale,André Brahic,Joseph A. Burns,Anthony D. DelGenio,Luke Dones,Carl D. Murray,Steven W. Squyres +24 more
TL;DR: Cassini has identified a geologically active province at the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus in images acquired by the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), this region is circumscribed by a chain of folded ridges and troughs at ∼55°S latitude as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The shape of Enceladus suggests a possible intense heating epoch in the past by capture into a 1:4 secondary spin/orbit resonance.

TL;DR: Within Saturn's rings, the "birth" of a spoke has been observed, and surprising azimuthal and time variability is found in the ringlet structure of the outer B ring, leading to speculations about Saturn's internal structure and about the collisional and thermal history of the rings and satellites.

TL;DR: As Voyager 1 flew through the Saturn system it returned photographs revealing many new and surprising characteristics of this complicated community of bodies, including small inner satellites that interact gravitationally with one another and with the ring particles in ways not observed elsewhere in the solar system.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The cameras aboard Voyager 1 have provided a closeup view of the Jupiter system, revealing heretofore unknown characteristics and phenomena associated with the planet's atmosphere and the surfaces of its five major satellites.
