A Son of the Rock

Well, Saturnlight in the same sense as moonlight. Both “shine” by reflecting sunlight.

This was Astronomy Picture of the Day for 8/2/12.

The yellow tinge is from Saturn’s cloud bands. True sunlight illuminates Enceladus on the right side of the picture.

Enceladus may have an ocean of water beneath its icy surface. Occasionally plumes of water vapour/ice are ejected through cracks in the ice.
