Exploring the Origins of Planet Saturn's Rings & Moons | NASA Ames

Exploring the Origins of Planet Saturn's Rings & Moons | NASA Ames

New NASA and Durham University simulations put forth a theory of the origin of Saturn’s rings and icy moons. They may have formed following a massive collision between two moons orbiting the gas giant. The simulations used in this research are among the most detailed of their kind to study the formation of Saturn’s rings and potentially habitable icy moons. 

NASA's Ames Research Center is located in California's Silicon Valley.
