Saturn's ring is not only kinky, it's twisted!

Latest from space.com shows that Saturn’s F ring is actually a spiral. How wierd is that?

And pretty cool, too. :cool:

Pretty cool alright. I’m glad they had that artist’s rendering…

So does this make Saturn the rebellious, punk, gothy outsider among the planets now?

Very cool stuff. :cool:

No mention of a spaceship filled with baby elephants orbiting nearby?

Fi’ on ye! :wink:

As I suspected all along: Saturn’s rings are really an old vinyl LP. Probably Pink Floyd or Grateful Dead.

I’m thinking Pink Floyd. “Dark Side of the [Saturnian] Moon[s]” and all. :slight_smile:

Hmmm…I wonder if the spiral could be caused by Saturn’s gravity well catching a comet?

Naw, it’d have to be Enya. The title track on Shepherd Moons is named for Pandora and Prometheus.

Pandora & Prometheus weren’t shepherds, they were crooks.

Pandora was a safecracker, & Prometheus was an arsonist.
:wink: :smiley:
