The team at the Cassini-Huygens mission has released a stunning movie of Cassini’s July 14 flyby of Saturn’s strange icy moon Enceladus. At first glance, it looks like a replay of the Deep Impact movie, where the Impactor spacecraft took images all the way into its impact with Comet Tempel 1. No such fireworks this time, but Cassini sure gave Enceladus a close shave at a mere 109 miles from the surface. You can check out the full length movie in the following flavors:
