The article focuses on research on rings discovered larger than that of Saturn planet. Topics discussed include discovery of a gargantuan planetary ring system by astronomers that is some 200 times larger than Saturn ring, collaboration of professional and amateur astronomers to study the system in detail and models suggesting that rings harbor a Mars ...

Space Science Reviews, 1975
This paper reviews observations of the rings of Saturn at visual, infrared, and radio wavelengths. Critical assessments are made of attempts to derive the physical characteristics of the rings from these measurements. A discussion is also given of the origin and evolution of the rings.

Abstract Saturn’s rings are not only a beautiful and enduring symbol of space, but astronomers’ best local laboratory for studying phenomena in thin cosmic disks like those where planets formed. All the giant planets have ring systems. Saturn’s are the biggest and brightest.

Statistics of Saturn Ring Occultations
2020We calculate the excess variance, excess skewness and excess kurtosis including the effects of cylindrical shadows, along with gaps, ghosts and clumps (all calculated for the granola bar model for rectangular clumps and gaps). The widths and separation of the clumps play an analogous role to the relative size of the particle shadows, δ ...

A belt of moonlets in Saturn’s A ring
Nature, 2007The origin and evolution of planetary rings is one of the prominent unsolved problems of planetary sciences, with direct implications for planet-forming processes in pre-planetary disks. The recent detection of four propeller-shaped features in Saturn's A ring proved the presence of large boulder-sized moonlets in the rings.

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1972
Results from numerical simulations of jetstreams are used to discuss certain aspects of the dynamics of the rings of Saturn. The probable velocity distribution inside the ring system is strongly non-Maxwellian. For the rings to form and remain a minimal degree of inelasticity is required.

One could become an expert on Saturn's iconic rings pretty easily in the early 1970s, as very little was known about them beyond the distinction between the A, B, and C rings, and the Cassini Division or "gap" between rings A and B (Alexander, 1962; Bobrov, 1970).

Abstract In this compelling, readable narrative, Joe Sherman explores virtually every aspect of the Saturn project, America's biggest and most publicized industrial success of the last decade. Here is the whole story - Saturn's mysterious beginnings inside General Motors in 1982; the site hunt that involved 38 states and ended in Spring ...
