Shout-out also to the ISS (Imaging Science Subsystem) camera team who planned the image, wrote the commands, and processed the data, as well as NASA-JPL for operating the Cassini spacecraft itself as well as the Deep Space Network that transmitted the commands and received the data. As a former member of the Cassini operations team, I take any opportunity to highlight the hard work by many many people to make these images happen.

hello, i was wondering if you had a direct source for this image of enceladus: wonders-of-the-cosmos(.)tumblr(.)com/post/722922756914774016/ because i cannot find it when reverse image searching or looking through Jason Major's work. it is important for me to know if the image is real or cgi, what mission it was part of, etc. thank you sm if you can get back to me.

Yes, it is a real picture.

Cassini–Huygens, commonly called Cassini, was a space-research mission by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a space probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites.

The Flagship-class robotic spacecraft comprised both NASA's Cassini space probe and ESA's Huygens lander, which landed on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.

Cassini was the fourth space probe to visit Saturn and the first to enter its orbit, where it stayed from 2004 to 2017.

The two craft took their names from the astronomers Giovanni Cassini (1625-1712) and Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695).

Cassini 🪐 Cassini was a sophisticated robotic spacecraft sent to study and capture the beauty of Saturn. She embarked on a great adventure and made many fascinating discoveries along her way. Until finally, with one last maneuver, she plunged into the gas giant and perished in a final, fatal embrace. She became one with her muse for an eternity. You can read more about the original Cassini’s journey here and here :)
