Enormous jets of ice erupt from the pole of Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons.

Cassini spent a decade exploring the Saturnian system, recording the first images of the plumes of Enceladus, flying through them and sampling them before burning up in the ringed atmosphere six years ago. “The orbit of Enceladus around Saturn is relatively quick, just 33 hours. As it whips around Saturn, the moon and its jets are basically spitting off water, leaving a halo, almost like a doughnut, in its wake,” Geronimo Villanueva, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said in a. “In the Webb observations, not only was the plume huge, but there was just water absolutely everywhere.
