DescriptionMap of Enceladus PIA 14937 Dec 2011.jpg	English: Map of Enceladus - December 2011 [quarter size] This mosaic shows an updated global map of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus, created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys. The map incorporates new images taken during flybys in December 2011. This map is an update to the version released in February 2010 (see PIA125694). Like other recent Enceladus global maps, this mosaic was shifted by 3.5 degrees to the west, compared to 2006 versions, to be consistent with the International Astronomical Union longitude definition for Enceladus. The so-called "tiger stripe" features that have captivated Cassini scientists can be seen distorted by the projection method in the lower middle left and lower middle right of the image. The map is an equidistant (simple cylindrical) projection and has a scale of 360 feet (110 meters) per pixel at the equator. The mean radius of Enceladus used for projection of this map is 157 miles (252 kilometers).
