Peering from the shadows, the Saturn-facing hemisphere of tantalizing inner moon Enceladus poses in this Cassini spacecraft image. North is up in the dramatic scene captured during November 2016 as Cassini’s camera was pointed in a nearly sunward direction about 130,000 kilometers from the moon’s bright crescent. In fact, the distant world reflects over 90 percent of the sunlight it receives, giving its surface about the same reflectivity as fresh snow. A mere 500 kilometers in diameter, Enceladus is a surprisingly active moon. Data and images collected during Cassini’s flybys have revealed water vapor and ice grains spewing from south polar geysers and evidence of an ocean of liquid water hidden beneath the moon’s icy crust.

I’ve been pasting the link to the highest resolution of a given APOD image in the URL of the post so that people don’t have to leave Lemmy to view or save the image. Would it work if the body of the post only said, Source?
Could you please demonstrate the post you would have made? It’s not clear to me what you think should be included.
I’m just some arrogant guy on the internet and not some arbiter of correctness, but something along the lines of adding a link pointing to the original material along with the amazing image and quote. I think it would be this:
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap260207.html
But, it seems like I sent the wrong link before so that probably confused things. Sorry about that
