Decadal timescale variability of the Enceladus plumes inferred from Cassini images

•The plumes decreased by a factor of ∼2 from 2005 to 2015.•Decadal trend roughly matches a decrease in eccentricity.•Interannual stochasic variability of plumes is likely.•Launch velocity is less at apocenter, greater at pericenter.•A secondary maximum occurs at 90 deg mean anomaly. The brightness o...
