"During a recent pass, Cassini was programmed to look back toward the Sun where Enceladus would appear as a thin crescent."

Actually, it is the SUN that appears as a "thin crescent" here, not Enceladus!

The sun can only appear as a cresent duing a conjunction with a planet or moon in the foreground.
