Rings of Saturn


Rings of Saturn

The age of Saturn's thin rings is not well known. Based on the rate at which the rings are spreading, they are estimated to be about 200 million years old. The rings are made of centimeter- to meter-sized particles of ice and dust. Voyager 2 image, courtesy of NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
