about

Enceladus is a Saturnian moon which has the highest light-reflective properties of all the spheres in the solar system (it has an albedo - or reflective) rating of .9, where 1.0 would be a perfectly reflective body.

I was watching a programme about the Cassini probe which featured one of the scientists involved, Carolyn Porco, scanning Cassini photostreaming back as she started an early shift. One of the photos caught her eye and after some analysis, the white plume on the picture was confirmed as an enormous outpouring of liquid, akin to one of Earth's geysers. The main difference was that these plumes were hundreds of kilometres high.

The photo I've attached to the track shows this. I was working on this track during some very early morning sessions, just as night was turning into day - it fitted perfectly.
