In 1989, NASAâs Voyager 2 spacecraft made an incredible discovery â geyser activity on Triton, a moon of Neptune. It was the first time a geyser had been observed away from Earth (not counting the volcanic eruptions discovered on Jupiterâs moon Io by Voyager 1 in 1979). In the decades that followed, geysers were discovered on even more moons in the outer solar system.
This two-image mosaic is one of the highest-resolution views acquired by the Cassini spacecraft during its imaging survey of the geyser basin capping the southern hemisphere of Saturn s moon Enceladus.
