I found this spectacular picture while searching for something else. The raw images engine gets fussy near encounter. It's a wide-angle camera image taken really near encounter, and not included if you search for Enceladus images. Resolution is around 80m/pixel. It looks remarkably like Europa

For something really weird, go to:

There really shouldn't be glare like that, so this may be the discovery image for the outgassing on Enceladus. Outgassing is sometimes blamed for the E-Ring, which is the only explanation I have for the fact that the dark side of the moon is blacker than night.
