APOD 1.7

This post "Giant Dust Ring Discovered Around Saturn" is a very interesting one for several reasons. Specifically it interests me because of all the planets, Saturn is by far my favorite, what with its peculiar rings that surround it and make it unique in our solar system. This uniqueness is increasing everyday in the Astronomical world though according to this APOD post. According to this article, there has been a new ring of Saturn discovered, enormous in size and made entirely of dust particles. The ring itself is 200 times Saturn's radius. As I perused the relevant links in the article, I learned that scientists hypothesize that this newest ring resulted from impact material ejected from one of Saturn's moons, Phoebe. This is partly due to the fact that Phoebe orbits directly in the dust ring's middle.
