The whole of Saturn's E ring is believed to have been made from these ice particles.

The discovery of the plume has added further weight to the argument that material released from Enceladus is the source of the E ring.

Here the "blue" ice is on a flat surface, indicating that the region is young enough not to have been coated by fine-grained water ice from the E ring.

CDA "detected a large increase in the number of particles near Enceladus", confirming the satellite as the primary source for the E ring.

Seen in spectacular detail, however, is Saturn's E ring, the ring created by the newly discovered ice-fountains of the moon Enceladus and the outermost ring visible above.

That's the effect in Saturn's "E" ring, the only other known blue ring.

These jets form a large plume off the south pole of the moon, which replenishes Saturn's E ring and serves as the main source of ions in the magnetosphere of Saturn.

The newly discovered outer rings of Uranus are similar to the outer G and E rings of Saturn.

The outer rings of Uranus may be similar to the G and E rings of Saturn as E ring is extremely broad and receives dust from Enceladus.

Enceladus is within Saturn's E ring.
