Wrinked and cracked Enceladus against the yellowish disc of Saturn

This is Enceladus against the disc of Saturn, a not-quite-true-color picture taken in infrared, green and ultraviolet light. A little misregistered around the edges, and I was unable to completely get rid of the ghosts of the dropouts induced by the effect they had on the raw images' JPEG compression. But it's nice.

Near the top of this picture there are some craters that were given names after they were seen by the Voyagers; they're named out of the Arabian Nights. Of the snowman-like chain of three craters near top center, the biggest is named Dunyazad and the second-biggest is Shahrazad (another spelling of Scheherazade). Shahryar is the really sharp-looking one further up and Sindbad is half-visible on the horizon.

...on the terminator, I should have said: I think it's directly to the right of Shahryar.
