The extensive water plume that originates from Enceladus and extends up to 40 Enceladus radii is mapped and characterized by JWST. Data suggest a sustained and uninterrupted plume activity spanning decades and a surface dominated by crystalline H2O ice. No other molecules were detected in gaseous form.
