Cassini spacecraft captures Saturn moon geyser images

The Galileo mission was great, but the Cassini/Huygens has took it beyond all expectations and been absolutely stunning.

The images of Saturn are superb, but there's the one of the Sun reflecting off lakes on Titan, not to mention Huygens landing on it. Enceladus's geysers erupting, which no one knew about until this thing whizzed by and took a quick snap. This has got to be one of the great engineering feats, that has to be up there now along with Hubble and the Apollo missions.

I wonder what other images we will get as they put the craft through the Cassini division again, on it's way into Saturn for the final time.
