Webb spotted a massive water emission from Saturn's moon Enceladus, spanning over 6000 miles and gushing out at 79 gallons per second. (Webb's data shows Enceladus as a white pixel. Compare its size to the water jet below!) go.nasa.gov/42fQbkK

Webb Maps Large Plume Jetting From Saturn’s Moon Enceladus
A water vapor plume from Saturn’s moon Enceladus spanning more than 6,000 miles – nearly the distance from Los Angeles, California to Buenos Aires, Argentina – has been detected by researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.Jamie Adkins (NASA)
#OTD in 1971, Mariner 9 was launched. Nearly 6 months later, it became the first spacecraft to orbit another planet, beating the Soviets' Mars 2 🛰️

Don't forget to water your planets 🪐
Webb provides new insight into how Enceladus' plumes act as a sprinkler system. The moon leaves a “donut” (torus) of water around Saturn as it orbits. About 30% of the water stays in that “donut." The rest is supplied to Saturn & its rings!
