The rings of Saturn are the most extensive planetary ring system of any planet in the Solar System. They consist of countless small particles, ranging in size from micrometres to metres, that orbit about Saturn. The ring particles are made almost entirely of water ice, with a trace component of rocky material. There is still no consensus as to their mechanism of formation; some features of the rings suggest a relatively recent origin, but theoretical models indicate they are likely to have formed early in the Solar System's history.
Although reflection from the rings increases Saturn's brightness, they are not visible from Earth with unaided vision. In 1610, the year after Galileo Galilei first turned a telescope to the sky, he became the very first person to observe Saturn's rings, though he could not see them well enough to discern their true nature. In 1655, Christiaan Huygens was the first person to describe them as a disk surrounding Saturn. Although many people think of Saturn's rings as being made up of a series of tiny ringlets (a concept that goes back to Laplace), true gaps are few. It is more correct to think of the rings as an annular disk with concentric local maxima and minima in density and brightness. On the scale of the clumps within the rings there is much empty space.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth. Although only one-eighth the average density of Earth, with its larger volume Saturn is just over 95 times more massive. Saturn is named after the Roman god of agriculture; its astronomical symbol (♄) represents the god's sickle.
Saturn's interior is probably composed of a core of iron–nickel and rock (silicon and oxygen compounds). This core is surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium, and finally outside the Frenkel line a gaseous outer layer. Saturn has a pale yellow hue due to ammonia crystals in its upper atmosphere. Electrical current within the metallic hydrogen layer is thought to give rise to Saturn's planetary magnetic field, which is weaker than Earth's, but has a magnetic moment 580 times that of Earth due to Saturn's larger size. Saturn's magnetic field strength is around one-twentieth of Jupiter's. The outer atmosphere is generally bland and lacking in contrast, although long-lived features can appear. Wind speeds on Saturn can reach 1,800 km/h (500 m/s), higher than on Jupiter, but not as high as those on Neptune.

Much of our interest in the planet comes from its distinctive and iconic ring structure. Though not visible to the naked eye, anyone with even a weak telescope can make out the impressive rings. Though we may see the structures as one, massively wide ring orbiting around the planet, Saturn's ring system is made up of a variety of different rings, all varying in density, thickness, and width. (The largest ring we've found is 12 million miles (7.4 million kms) wide.) Made up primarily of ice water...
On the 25 August 1981, the probe Voyager 2 approached the Saturn system. The probe is carrying different detectors : magnetometers, plasma detectors, low-energy charged particles detectors, cosmic rays detectors, radiowaves receivers. Recordings were made. Interractions of the solar wind with planet's magnetosphere, magnetosphere itself, electromagnetic fields, charged particles emissions, charged particle interactions of the planet, its moons, and the solar wind. All this electromagnetic phenomenons can be transformed into electric signals, which can in turn be amplified and used to excite the membrane of a loud speaker ; thus making audible to the human ear the rustling of the cosmos. All these sounds were recorded while Voyager 2 was passing at 110 000 km of Saturn's sy...
NASA's Cassini just sent back stunning photos from its first-ever dive through Saturn's rings. Raw images from the spacecraft started populating a photo stream on the NASA website early Thursday. Data began flowing at 3:01 a.m. EDT and more than 100 images were transmitted, NASA said. "In the grandest tradition of exploration, NASA's Cassini spacecraft has once again blazed a trail, showing us new wonders and demonstrating where our curiosity can take us if we dare," said Jim Green, director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters. The dive was the first of 22 passes the spacecraft will make between Saturn and its rings over the next five months before it hurtles into the planet on Sept. 15, a maneuver that will destroy Cassini and end the mission. No spacecraft has ever be...

Scientists have been surprised to find that not all that much—not even space dust—lies between Saturn's iconic rings. "The region between the rings and Saturn is 'the big empty,' apparently," say scientists after the probe's first pass. While traveling through the ‘void’ between the planet and its rings, scientists used the spacecrafts sensors in order to measure the dust in the area—then converted the data by measuring each dust particle that collided with the sensor into sound. The Result? Unsettling and totally unexpected sounds: series or crackers, snarls, and scratches which are best defined as otherworldly. Maybe creepy is also right. The rings themselves are made of fast-moving particles of ice and space debris. Cassini made a first pass to explore what lies between the rings in ...

Trivia: Saturn's rings were created using Voyager data and Cassini Data, and tables from the IAU, and nasa Interestingly enough, the voyager data and Cassini data did Not completely match each other, More interestingly the differences between the two data sets were not consistent along the ring, specifically the small Gaps along the rings are inconsistent between voyager and cassini. there are 3 conclusions i can reach from this, 1, the data is simply not perfectly accurate, 2, I interpreted the data incorrectly, 3, the Rings have actually changed a bit between voyager and cassini.

NOTE: All sound data reworked and mixed by Jeffrey Thompson @ Brain/Mind Research INFO: Although space is a virtual vacuum, this does not mean there is no sound in space. Sound does exist as electromagnetic vibrations. The specially designed instruments, on board the various space probes, used Plasma Wave antenna to record the vibrations used here, all within the range of human hearing (20-20.000 cycles per second). Interactions between the Solar Wind and the planets, moons and rings of our Solar System create "Soundscapes" of frequencies in the plasma energy "Ocean" that fills the void of space. Each planet, moon and ring system has a distinctive "musical" pattern. This decoded information can be heard when played over a speaker system. Rings Of Saturn: Rings Of Saturn is the most soothi...

If you think that there is only a ring of Saturn, then you are very much mistaken. Rings have all four giant planets of our solar system. Even Pluto, too, have the opportunity to ring. spaceship flying through them can be fatal. The particles in the orbit of Saturn move fifteen times faster than a bullet so that would find them, hunters rings should have advanced technology. In this series you will hunt for planets with rings, from the far depths of space to an astonishing ring systems we have at hand. The rings of the planet - a system of flat concentric formations of ice and dust orbiting in the equatorial plane of the planet. Rings found in all the gas giants of the solar system: Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and the asteroid Chariklo may have Rhea, Saturn's moon.It is not excluded...
