Saturn’s rings are much, much younger than the planet itself, a new study has shown.

The study - which analysed dust collecting on the icy rings - found that the rings are likely to be no more than 400 million years old.

That makes the rings much younger than Saturn itself, which is about 4.5 billion years old.

......

The planet's rings, in other words, are new phenomena, arising (and potentially even disappearing) in what amounts to a blink of an eye in cosmic terms.

......

The rings might already be vanishing. In a previous study, NASA scientists reported that the ice is slowly raining down onto the planet and could disappear entirely in another 100 million years.

ever heard of ''Ringmakers of Saturn'' ?

there are massive space ships that made the rings.................they're also making the rings around Jupiter and Uranus................both planets have recently discovered rings too........
