NASA's Spaceship Cassini got close enough to one of Saturn's moons and got picture of a light streak near the surface. The moon is called Enceladus. It took the picture 48 kilometers or 30 miles away and also took pictures of the frozen rocky terrain, and the Bright lights coming from it.
It was winter in the southern hemisphere when the pictures were taken. The sun lights up the water vapor icy crystals in the sky which causes the bright jets of light. the jets are lined up in rows which causes the curtains of light spray.
