The Cassini spacecraft conducted its closest flyby yet, coming within 175 kilometers (109 miles) from the surface of Enceladus. Data collected is currently being downloaded. Raw images are expected to appear on this web site at around 10 p.m. PDT.
UPDATE: 4:30 pm: The last of the Rhea images are showing up on the JPL raw images page now. Next up, Enceladus...

I agree with Bruce. Epimetheus doesn't look unusual to me, and to be honest I am not sure what images of the small inner moons could be used to make such a claim - maybe Mimas was the moon in question? Anyway, Epimetheus... if the new images are rotated 180 degrees you can see how these fit the last hi-res set. The two large craters are visible in both, and the new view is from a bit further north. The terminator is a little more to the east, ten degrees or so.
