Enkelad (Enceladus) je prirodni Saturnov satelit kojeg je 1789. otkrio astronom William Herschel. Ime je dobio po gigantu Enkeladu iz starogrčke mitologije. Ovaj satelit ima drugo ime Saturn II.

Karakteristike

[uredi | uredi izvor]

Enkelad obilazi Saturn svakih 32 h 53 m 7 s, ima prosječni prečnik od 498,9 km i masu od 8,6×1019 kg. Prosječna gustoća Enkelada iznosi 1,3 g/cm3. Mjerenja obavljena od strane svemirske letjelice Cassini-Huygens ookazala su da je ovaj satelit napravljen većinom od leda, vode i možda male količine kamena i metala.

Početkom 2006. NASA-ina letjelica Cassini snimila je erupcije gejzira na površini, vjerovatno sastavljene i od tekuće vode.

  1. ^ Photograph of Enceladus, taken by the narrow-angle camera of the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) aboard Cassini, during the spacecraft’s October 28, 2015, flyby. It shows the younger terrain of Sarandib and Diyar Planitia, populated with many grooves (sulci) and depressions (fossae). Older, cratered terrain can be seen towards Enceladus's north pole. The prominent feature visible near the south pole is Cashmere Sulci.
