Saturn's outer ring separated by a large number of physical blocks.

We thought that would be observed in the outer ring is evenly distributed .material clouds, but in fact they found that the material constitutes the outer ring was massive, and mutual separation. If you plane flying from under the outer ring, you can find yourself in the cracks in the block from the material transmitted over the sun and .the dark turn of the flight. This is different from the uniform distribution of matter in the cloud to travel under the circumstances. "</ P> <P align=left> scientists confirmed by observations, the gravitational force between the outer ring material produced in the material block. .If the substance blocks away from Saturn, they may form a new satellite. .However, in fact, block the material from the very near Saturn, and their different speeds around Saturn's gravitational offset each other, so the natural distribution of these substances can block off. .However, when their size reached 30-50 m, they will regroup and re-separation. .</ P> <P align=left> Cassini space probe to leave Earth in 1997, went to space to complete the collection of Saturn and its outer ring and the task of satellite data, which is launching the largest human detection Star Trek .device. .July 2004 to enter Saturn's orbit, scientists used the equipment installed in its observation and analysis of the above images, the new findings to the spectrum from the detector detector. .</ P> </ p>.
