Jets of high-density gas, detected by Cassini's Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph during the "stellar occultation," were matched to the locations of dust jets detected from Cassini images, labeled here with Roman numerals. The blue line is the path of the stellar occultation.

It was determined that the individual jets come from sources that are about half the size of a tennis court.
