Summary:

The Cassini spacecraft performed a daring flyby of Saturn’s moon Enceladus on March 12, flying about 15 kilometers per second (32,000 mph) through a geyser-like jet spurting from the moon’s surface. It captured sample molecules from the jet.

In August, it used special techniques to get pictures of the jets. Scientists want to know where the jets come from and whether Enceladus has water.
