Saturn's Rings Predicted to Disappear in the Future
- U-Report
It was thought that because rocky objects were flying around everywhere, a new planet could easily capture them, and make them settle down with gravity. But later Voyager observations revealed more details.
It turns out that the systems don't have as much mass as researchers thought, meaning they can't be billions of years old.
Ring Age Up to 100 Million Years
The estimated age of the ring is between 10 and 100 million years. That really puzzled researchers, according to Jeff Cuzzi, a research scientist at NASA and an expert on planetary rings. Then more recent observations using a NASA spacecraft called Cassini delved into even more detail.
Its latest measurements supported what the Voyager mission had already observed, that the rings did not happen early in the formation of the solar system.
But the science community has yet to reach a consensus on the origin story of Saturn's rings.
