Enceladus is the thirteenth moon in the Saturnian system, orbits two hundred and thirty seven thousand kilometers away from Saturn and is twenty six thousand kilometer away from its nearest neighbor, Pallene. It lies within the densest part of Saturn's E-Ring and the volcano on its south pole is thought to have provided some of the material for it. Enceladus takes 32.8 hours to complete a full orbit of Saturn.[1]
