False-color mosaic of Enceladus taken by the Cassini-Huygens probe July 14, 2005. Mosaic completed in only 20 hours ;), trying to finish quickly before a workshop, yet it still ended up on the cover of Science magazine and the New York Times 8 months later

This user, known as volcanopele in many fora, works for the Cassini Imaging team, processing images of several of Saturn's moons, most notably Titan and Enceladus. You can find a number of volcanopele's image products on the Imaging team Website. Prior to 2004, volcanopele filled a similar role during the last couple of years of the Galileo mission at Jupiter, working on images of Io. Volcanopele's research interests include: mapping albedo features on the surface of Titan and link them to various geologic processes like cryovolcanism, the geologic history of Enceladus and the evolution of Enceladus' cryovolcanic south polar region, and the volcanic history of Io.

Volcanopele is currently an undergraduate attending the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, majoring in Geosciences and History. His interests include movies (particularly historical epics and crime/mob dramas), sports (particularly American_Football and Football (soccer)), video games, and television. Otherwise, this user has no life, and spends much of his time processing images and editing on Wikipedia.

On wikipedia, volcanopele spends an inordinate amount of time working the articles of our solar system various outer planet satellites, such as Enceladus, and lately Io. Now that the Enceladus, Io, and Titan articles has reached featured article status, he plans to focus his Wikipedia attention on other outer solar system satellite Wikipedia articles, in an attempt to improve the Io-related articles on Wikipedia.

This user has an Erdős number of 5. If one includes documentaries and voice work, this user's Erdős-Bacon number is 10 (I have unconfirmed reports that my Bacon number has dropped one to 4, so this may have gone down).

This user runs a blog about the Jovian satellites and Io in particular named The Gish Bar Times

There are more since 2005, but I have just gotten tired of listing them all...
