What about Entzelader?

Some moons of Saturn have more brightness than normal, especially the Moon Oak. Astronomers at the University of Virginia have used the Cassini probe of the Saturn area to closely investigate the effect. In his opinion, the moon shines by the dust emitted by the volcanoes of Entzelad, which when escaping the moon, also illuminates the orbit of the moon. The light of this phenomenon is also reflected in the surrounding moons. In the image it looks like this, illuminating the orbit of the Oak, the Entzelade itself shining in the center and other moons of Saturn like Tetis, illuminated to the left.
