Saturn's F ring
(Preview)
One of Saturn's rings is flaring and fading in a very strange fashion. When Voyager 1 visited the planet in 1980, the ring was faint, but it sparkled with bright spots. By the time the Cassini mission arrived in 2004, the spots were gone - but the ring as a whole had grown twice as bright. The F ring has been...
