New Moon Found In Saturn's G-Ring

Posted by kdawson on from the ring-herder dept.

caffiend666 writes "Scientists have announced a new moon has been found hidden in the G Ring of Saturn. The discovery was announced Tuesday in a notice by the International Astronomical Union. This is one of over five dozen moons, and is only a third of a mile wide. No word yet on a name for the new moon; I vote Cowboy Neal."

    How is this news, I thought that was the whole point of g-strings.

    For years in the astronomical community there's been a debate about whether or not the G-Ring exists in planets.

    I think it's pretty obvious that all of our long, hard rockets should thrust towards the solar system's known G-Rings whenever possible. Anything less would be, well, selfish.
