If someone asked you to draw a planet other than ours, you would likely draw Saturn, and that is because of its rings. But for most of history, human beings couldn’t see the rings.

Saturn's rings will disappear from view of ground-based telescopes in 2025. Here's why. Every 13-15 years, Saturn is angled in a way in which the edge of its thin rings are oriented toward Earth ...

By the time we lose Saturn to the Sun’s glare in February 2025, the rings will be less than 3° from edge-on. I’ll be most interested in knowing what you see or don’t see before this time.

Space Saturn’s rings may be far older than we thought. The age of the rings that encircle Saturn is under dispute thanks to calculations that show they could have been formed billions – rather ...

Saturn's rings have gathered dust for no more than 400 million years — making them far younger than the 4.5-billion-year-old gas planet, according to a study published Friday in Science Advances.

Saturn's rings, perhaps the most defining part of the gas giant, are going to vanish by March 2025, according to Earth.com. But they aren't disintegrating, and it's nothing permanent.

Starting on Sunday, Saturn’s rings will seem to disappear for a few days. For the next several months, Simon said the rings will “remain very thin” to our eyes.

And the event is relatively rare: Ring plane crossings — as the phenomenon is known — typically occur twice during the 29.4 years it takes Saturn to make one orbit around the sun.

Starting on Sunday, Saturn’s rings will seem to disappear for a few days. For the next several months, Simon said the rings will “remain very thin” to our eyes.

The rings, believed to be made up of rocky and icy chunks that could be as large as a house, help separate Saturn from other planets in our solar system. They’re also about to perform a ...
