New Ring Discovered Around Saturn

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday September 9, 2004 @02:54PM

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."

I would suggest that Saturn has a lot of rings, but Uranus has a lot of shit around it too.

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.
