why is ence bright while comets are very dark, like asteroids ? if most of the material is settling back on the moon, then why are even tiny fissures, not filled up ? direction of travel of moon vs crater filled side
temperature at north pole ?
inner ring of saturn cannot be ice, since it is too warm - with no intelligent explanation. as warm as ence south pole but that is explained with tidal heating & liquid water. what explains the warmth of inner rings B & C ?

100,000 ice blocks mapped out at the south pole of Enceladus

Recently, between these stripes, over 100,000 ice blocks were observed, and they are a further source of wonder. Scientists with the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at the California Institute of Technology were able to map out the locations of these blocks.

Cassini Observes the Active South Pole of Enceladus

House sized ice boulders, highest temperatures on south pole terrain varied from 114 K (-159 C) to
157 K (-116 C). ShadowCam article on our moon's Shackleton crater at the south pole mentions -163 C as too warm for solid to be found on surface. So clearly, the house sized boulders on the south pole of Enceladus, at the Tiger Stripes cannot be ice.

The area is also littered with house-sized ice boulders carved by unique tectonic patterns found only in this region of the moon.
