Illustration of Enceladus in front of the Earth and next to Earths moon
Enceladus is considered one of Saturns major satellites, however, it is quite diminutive when compared with the Earth and Earths Moon. With a radius of only 160 miles, Enceladus could rest in the Gulf of Mexico with plenty of room to spare. Enceladus is one of the brightest objects in the Solar System. Where Earths Moon has a surface reflectively about the same as charcoal, Enceladus is covered in water ice that reflects sunlight like freshly fallen snow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stark contrast in size and composition between Enceladus, one of Saturn's major satellites, and our very own Earth and its Moon. Despite being considered a significant moon of Saturn, Enceladus appears diminutive when placed in front of the Earth and next to our Moon. With a radius measuring only 160 miles, this tiny celestial body could easily find ample space within the Gulf of Mexico. What sets Enceladus apart is its remarkable brightness within the Solar System. While Earth's Moon reflects sunlight with a surface reflectivity similar to charcoal, Enceladus boasts an icy covering that gleams like freshly fallen snow. This unique characteristic makes it one of the brightest objects in our cosmic neighborhood. The digitally generated illustration beautifully captures this astronomical comparison against a striking black background. It highlights not only the disparity in size but also emphasizes how Enceladus' water ice surface stands out amidst Earth's landmasses and oceans. Through this artwork by Walter Myers, viewers are transported into space where they can marvel at these celestial wonders side by side. The image serves as a reminder of both the vastness and diversity present within our solar system while igniting curiosity about distant worlds beyond our own planet's boundaries.
