Enceladus is the sixth-largest moon of Saturn, covered by mostly ice, causing it's surface temperature to be around -200°C. It is fairly small, at a diameter of around 500 km, and is covered in geysers, demonstrating, along with other evidence, that it is geologically active.

Enceladus was visited, along with Mimas (Saturn's smallest moon), during Silver Seas 2018.
