2. Rings of Saturn - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Saturn

   The concept that Saturn's rings are made up of a series of tiny ringlets can be traced to Pierre-Simon Laplace, [4] although true gaps are few – it is more correct to think of the rings as an annular disk with concentric local maxima and minima in density and brightness. [2] On the scale of the clumps within the rings there is much empty space.

3. Ring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_system

   Larger rocks and boulders may also be present, and in 2007 tidal effects from eight moonlets only a few hundred meters across were detected within Saturn's rings. The maximum size of a ring particle is determined by the specific strength of the material it is made of, its density, and the tidal force at its altitude. The tidal force is ...

6. Rings of Rhea - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Rhea

   An artist's impression of Rhea's rings. The density of the particles is exaggerated greatly to aid visibility. [1] Rhea, the second-largest moon of Saturn, may have a tenuous ring system consisting of three narrow, relatively dense bands within a particulate disk. This would be the first discovery of rings around a moon.

   Saturn’s rings are seen as viewed by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, which obtained the images that comprise this mosaic at a distance of approximately 450,000 miles from Saturn April 25, 2007.

8. Pan (moon) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_(moon)

   Pan is the innermost named moon of Saturn. [4] It is approximately 35 kilometres across and 23 km wide and orbits within the Encke Gap in Saturn's A Ring. Pan is a ring shepherd and is responsible for keeping the Encke Gap free of ring particles. It is sometimes described as having the appearance of a walnut, or raviolo. [5]
