Saturn's Rings

The Cassini spacecraft captured this beautiful shot of Saturn and its rings from high above this past January. The rings are thought to have been created about 100 million years ago when a comet or asteroid struck a moon orbiting the planet. [Source]

I'm confused. Do the rings actually BELONG to Saturn?

Renee said...

Thank you for clarifying.

Do these rings have a blue dot too?

Is Saturn really a blue dot planet with rings??

Reynalda, were you a spelling bee queen whn you was little?

Renee said...

Not spelling, it's a matter of possession...

I could have swore I saw blue dots on those rings!

Parma Area Fine Arts Council said...

Would that be a blue moon that hit the planet and caused the rings around Saturn ?

Neptune is the Blue Dot Planet. Haven't you ever heard the expression in Cleveland, "That house over there was neptuned by the city."
