Recent studies from @NASAAmes shed new light on Saturn’s rings, pointing to evidence that the rings—comprised of almost entirely pure ice—are a relatively new addition to the gas giant and may only last a few 100 million years more. go.nasa.gov/3ooyku0 #NASA
Three recent studies by scientists at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley examine data from NASA’s Cassini mission and provide evidence that Saturn’s rings are both young and ephemeral – in astronomical terms, of course.
