Hi Readers... Heres something Exciting...Hope everyones heard about the saturn's new ring, if not here it is.
Its been years since mankind started exploring the universe but it still stays a mystery. Evryday theres something or the other which is being revealed. Its beautifull how everything even lies in this universe.
Astronomers have now found something interesting with Saturn - the ringed planet. Yes theres been a new ring found around it. Its not the type of rings the planet already had (or we knew about). Made of a fine mist of tiny dark particles, the newfound ring reflects so little visible light that it has never been seen with the naked eye. So, the astronomers had to do an infrared radiation scan so as to get the image of the ring around the planet.
Astonishingly, the Ring is huge in its size bot in diameter and its thickness. Its vertical height is about 20 times the diameter of the planet. It would take about one billion Earths stacked together to fill the ring. The Ring being so wide about 12 million kilometers and is away from the planet at about 6 million kilometers. The new ring separates itself from the other rings by tilting at 27 degrees from the main ring plain.
The Ring is now associated with one of the farthest moons of Saturn, the Phoebe. Phoebe seems to be the source of this ring as well afterall the moon's orbit is inside this ring. The dust of the moon and ice are the main components of this ring.
The Ring is soo wide and not so dense too. If u are standing in the ring you wont even know you are in it. Its that lightly packed and you can only see it from long distance that too with an infrared camera.
