Close-up of Enceladus, crossed horizontally by valleys and vertically by cracks that cross crater rims

This is one of the many raw images of Enceladus that came back today. All I did was take out the annoying alternate-scanline compression dropouts.

It's interesting that the thin cracks seem to be modified in direction somewhat when they cross a crater, but run right across them rather than being outright radial. I guess they're tectonic fractures of some sort that are younger than the craters.
