The Mists of Enceladus 1
1:15
This music takes us on a journey from the initial approach and dramatic emergence of Enceladus from its misty wreath, with initial glimpses of its icy beauty, before diving deep into the mysterious depths of its hidden ocean where, in the darkness, massive forces drive huge currents and explosive plumes. Rising up to a calmer place we see Enceladus emerging like a diamond jewel set in its ring which encircles the glorious context of Saturn's magnificence, before witnessing its orbital retreat back into the ice clouds of its own making, carrying within its hidden depths the shards of hope for the possibility of new life.

An observer watches Jupiter's intensely volcanic moon Io gradually approach, the metronomic rhythm reflecting the precise clockwork of the spheres. As Io passes, the violence and chaos of this world is revealed as the relentless gravitational forces seek to rip her apart. As sulphurous clouds and volcanic plumes rise, the occasional pause allows brief glimpses of the deceptive beauty beyond, but any respite is only shortlived. As Io passes by on its orbit and fades into the distance, there may be relief for the observer, but there is no end to the torments of this captive globe as it continues its endless tortured journey.
