Atmosphere

An atmosphere exists around every larger body of the solar system. The substantial information which is missing here is the pressure / density of the atmosphere. 193.171.121.30 18:52, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The press release announcing the discovery gave no information on the atmospheric properties, only that it is "substantial", whatever that means. --Jyril 20:13, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

False color image

I definitely prefer the old picture over the new false color image. I will revert, if nobody objects! Awolf002 13:15, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Done. Awolf002 13:55, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes, on Titan (moon) the concensus was that the main image of a body should look as realistic as possible. Specifically, false-colour images were considered inferior. In fact, apparently you were the one who reverted that one.  :-) --P3d0 17:52, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not at all sure that the current image has true colors whatever that means. Enceladus, with its extremely high albedo, is actually bright white or gray, not brown like in this image which looks like a colorized one. But I've to admit that the current image looks much better.--Jyril 19:45, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, there should be a better picture, since this is an old Voyager image, I believe. I will take a look at the JPL/Cassini image archive. Awolf002 19:58, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I can only find raw images, close-up images of the surface, or false color images that are better than the Voyager image. All other visible light images from the whole moon have less resolution. However, those pictures show a white surface! Should we replace? Awolf002 20:14, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
