No confusion & Journal reference

Hi Mark

Enceladus has a density of 1.83 +/- 0.17 according to the JPL's Solar System Dynamics site. And it's not a typo. My source for the Enceladus article is the Astronomical Journal and the specific reference is vol.128, No. 1, page 484. On page 492 are reported some preliminary results for the various moons from Cassini and other data. They report Enceladus as 1.603 +/- 0.345, and that was published in July. The JPL site was updated in November and the figure is now higher, though not as high as some previous estimates.
