Saturn's enigmatic rings may be much older and also much more massive than previously thought, according to a new study. Because Saturn's rings look so clean and bright, it was thought the rings were younger than the planet itself, which is estimated to be about 4.5 billion years old. But...  

Munster, Germany (SPX) Sep 25, 2008 - Saturn's rings may be more massive than previously thought, and potentially much older, according to calculations that simulate colliding particles in Saturn's rings and their erosion by meteorites.  

Saturn's rings may be more massive and older than previously thought, say researchers.  

Saturn's rings are more massive and far older than previously thought, astronomers reported on Tuesday.  

Music from the heavens: Enjoy the world premiere of "Anillos," a concerto for percussion and orchestra that celebrates the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn, on Saturday, Oct.  

The study's computer simulation showed how the planet's rings could date back billions of years ago to the early ages of the solar system, rather than only 100 million years ago (during Earth's Age of Dinosaurs), as previous observations suggested. The calculations are consistent with recent...  

The team computed gravitational forces and collisions in a sample of more than 100000 icy particles in one of Saturn's rings. Rather than orbiting smoothly ...  

LONDON: Saturn's rings may be more massive and older than previously thought, researchers said on Tuesday.  

Saturn's rings may be larger and older than originally thought, researchers said Tuesday.  

Saturn's rings may be more massive than previously thought, and potentially much older, according to calculations that simulate colliding particles in Saturn's rings and their erosion by meteorites. These results support the possibility that Saturn's rings formed billions of years ago, perhaps...  

While Saturn and its rings are beautiful and wondrous, the sounds of Saturn are eerie and strange. Scientists have been trying to understand the bizarre radio emissions that come from the ringed planet, called the Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR). Scientists have used observations from NASA’s...
