Enceladus to Scale

Saturn's moon Enceladus is only 505 kilometers (314 miles) across, small enough to fit within the length of the United Kingdom, as illustrated here. The intriguing icy moon also could fit comfortably within the states of Arizona or Colorado. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA07724
