Saturn’s moon Rhea may also have rings
7 March 2008
| This is an artist’s concept of the ring of debris that may orbit Saturn's second-largest moon, Rhea. The suggested disc of solid material is exaggerated in density here for clarity.
Due to a decrease in the number of electrons detected by Cassini on either side of the moon, scientists suggest that rings are the likeliest cause of these electrons being blocked before they reach Cassini.
