Is é '''Enceladus''' an séú-gealach is mó de chuid [[Satarn|Shatairn]]. D'aimsigh [[William Herschel]] é sa bhliain [[1789]]. Go dtí gur thug spásárthaí an dá [[Voyager]] cuairt air go luath sna 1980í, ní raibh moran eolais againn faoi seachas go raibh oighear uisce ar a dhromchla. Thug Voyagers le fios dúinn go bhfuil trastomhas Enceladus 500 km, timpeall an deichiú cuid de thrastomhas [[Tíotán (gealach)|Thíotán]], an gealach is mó de chuid Shatairn, agus frithchaitheann sé beagnach 100% den solas a bhuaileann air. Fuarthas amach ó [[Voyager 1]] gur fhithisigh Enceladus sa chuid is dlúithe de '[[E-fháinne]]' idirleata Shatairn, a léiríonn gur féidir cumann a bheith eatarthu, agus léirigh [[Voyager 2]] in ainneoin méid bheag na gealaí, go raibh réimse leathan tír-raonta aige, ó shean, dromchlaí lán-chráitéaracha go hóg, tír-raon le dífhoirmiú teicteonach, le roinnt réigiún le haois a ndromchlaí comhchomh hóg le 100 milliún bliain d'aois.
