Is it just me or does Enceladus have a giant tree engraved into it? :p Due to waterflow I know I know...

Initially I also assumed it to be due to waterflow, but the surface temperature ranges from -240°C to -130°C, making it quite improbable. I did some research to find out why the surface looks the way it does, but I couldn't find any conclusive answers.

Interstingly, because of the cryovolcanic activity at the southern pole, it is concluded that Enceladus has a subsurface ocean, which, to me, suggests that it would have been a lot more cryovolcanically active in the past. But, because the matter from the cryvolcanos travels at such high speeds (it has been observed to be more than 2,000km/h), most of the water vapour is erupted out into space, and forms part of Saturn's outermost ring. This is why I think that Enceladus' volcanic activity wouldn't have had a large impact on the surrounding terrain, and so the moon's spectacular surface remains a mystery to me.

This picture looks fake to me. :/

Lighting is all wrong and the detail looks molded. Especially the crator/mountain on the top. It's way out of proportion with the moon's sphere.

You're correct that the lighting is "wrong" (the surface of the moon consists almost entirely of ice, making it the most reflective body in our solar system, and so it shouldn't normally appear as such). But, as I said, the side that we see in the photograph is being lit by yellowish light reflected off of Saturn. The crescent on the right is lit by the sun. This is how it should look, in all its glory.

I don't really know what you mean by the detail looking molded. It is very much a real picture. Here is the source.

For those that aren't interested in any of this, I'm sorry for babbling.

I can see the disaster, but what is that newspaper thing?

I'm guessing it's a desk fan funnelled into the PC case via the newspaper channel.

Problem with this is there's no proper circulation. Cold air is pumped onto the board but no means of effectively escaping.

EDIT: My bad, I didn't see the 2x heat extractors at the top of the case. Well played. :o


Forget Mandy, is that plastic modelling glue next to the all gold jar? Man I miss plastic modelling. (Gradius was pro at it though.)

Oh...and you forgot to hide your fap cloth container in front of the Mr Muscle cleaning spray. (Also, that would be doing it wrong. :p)
