Enkelad (mesec)
Enkelad (Enceladus) je prirodni Saturnov satelit kojeg je 1789. otkrio astronom William Herschel. Ime je dobio od  giganta Enkelada iz starogrčke mitologije. Ovaj satelit ima drugo ime Saturn II. Satelit Enkelad ophodi Saturn svakih 32 h 53 m 7 s,  ima prosječni promjer od 498.9 km i masu od 8.6 kg. Prosječna gustoća Enkelada je 1.3 g/cm3. Raznim mjerenjima iz svemirske letljelice Cassini-Huygens utvrđeno je da je satelit Enkelad napravljen većinom od leda, vode i možda male količine kamena i metala.
Početkom 2006. NASA-ina letjelica Cassini snimila je, vjerojatno, tekuću vodu koja izbija iz gejzira na Enkeladusu.
