What about Entzelader?

Some Saturn moons have more brightness than normal, especially the Holm Moon. Astronomers at the University of Virginia have used the Cassini probe in the Saturn area to closely investigate the effect. They consider that the moon shines from the dust detached by the volcanoes in Entzelad, and as the dust escapes from the moon, the orbit of the moon is also illuminated.
The light of this phenomenon is also reflected in the surrounding moons. In the image it looks like this, illuminating the orbit of the Encinar, Entzelade itself shining in the center and other moons of Saturn like Tetis, illuminated to the left.
