New Scientist: Bizarre boulders litter Saturn moon's icy surface

New Scientist has an article now posted regarding the highest resolution ISS image of Enceladus.

And in terms of making interpretations this early, I think Zibi Turtle said it best:

My bloated inbox certainly understands...not that I am complaining :D
