The surface isn't smooth, though, while Europa's is (minus the cracks/ridges). Losts of craters seems to indicate either no subsurface ocean, or else a much, much deeper one. At least, that's my take. Can anyone think of an alternative?

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 http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/images/raw/casJPGFullS08/W00004837.jpg For something really weird, go to: http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/images/raw/raw-images-details.cfm?feiI mageID=32339 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.
