The G-ring is a faint and narrow circlet of debris located beyond Saturn's main set of rings. There is no obvious way it could have formed. Material for Saturn's E-ring is supplied by debris shed ...

In September 2006, Cassini took 70 individual narrow-angle camera images over a 20-hour period of Saturn’s G ring. The sequence captures the G ring’s single bright arc on its inner edge.

Saturn, one of the most captivating planets in our solar system, is famous for its stunning and intricate ring system. These rings, composed primarily of ice particles, rocky debris, and cosmic ...

Cassini's data indicate that most of Saturn's rings are probably as old as the solar system itself — about 4.5 billion years. Earlier observations, during the Voyager flybys of 1980 and 1981 ...

NASA says Saturn's rings are disappearing as they're pulled in by gravity 00:42. NASA's Cassini spacecraft ended its historic exploration of Saturn in 2017 and, slowly but surely, scientists are ...

Saturn’s rings will become nearly invisible from Earth by March 2025 due to Saturn's axis tilting, aligning the rings edge-on with our line of sight. This rare event occurs every 29.5 years and ...

Saturn's rings have fascinated scientists ever since they were first spotted in the 17th century. But how the icy rings came into being remains a mystery that has only deepened.

Mimas lies outside the G ring, and many more moons reside inside the wide E ring. This activity will allow you to get a closer look at the rings and moons that make up Saturn’s gorgeous ring system.

A loosely knit band of roving ice boulders in orbit around Saturn could be providing the raw material for one of the planet's rings, scientists say. The finding, detailed in the Aug. 3 issue of ...

The E ring is the largest and outermost ring, spanning 621,370 miles (about one million kilometers) and lying next to another faint ring, G. Saturn’s F ring is made up of many narrow rings.
