Nyrath Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Re: Yet another ring around Saturn An apparently the new ring is responsible for the light/dark sides of the moon Iapetus http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2009/1006/2?rss=1 But I like better the explanation in the novel 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
