Prelude: The Cassini-Huygens mission and the Enceladus flybys

The Cassini spacecraft has made several close flybys of one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus. One of the flybys, made in July 2005, has revealed unexpected characteristics of this natural satellite that have changed what scientists had previously understood about this deceptively unassuming and little-known Saturn moon.
