Cassini Uncovering More Secrets Of Saturn Rings
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jul 06, 2006
New images by the Cassini spacecraft of Saturn's diaphanous G and E rings are yielding clues about their structure and formation. A sequence of recent Cassini images, compiled into a brief movie by the spacecraft's imaging team, shows an arc of bright material looping around the inside edge of the G ring, a tenuous 7,000-kilometer (4,400-mile) wide band of dust-sized icy particles lying beyond the F ring by 27,000 kilometers (16,800 miles).
