New Ring Discovered Around Saturn

Posted by CowboyNeal on

HunahpuMonkey writes "BBC News is reporting that 'scientists using the Cassini probe have found a new ring and one, possibly two, new objects orbiting Saturn.' The article also notes that the discoveries are in the planet's contorted F-ring region. The ring of new material seems to be associated with Saturn's moon Atlas."

    Where are the comments about finding new rings around uranus? Surely some slashdotters out there have found a few of those tonight, eh? Or how about "moon" being defined, as I always thought it was, as my ass in a car window with pants pulled down.
