Saturn will lose it’s rings…
Nobody really completely understands how Saturn got its ring system, but many astronomers believe that they are what is left of a moon that at one time orbited the planet.They suggest that it is possible that something collided with this moon about 50 million years ago and the debris could have spread to form the rings.
In another 50 million years, scientists think that Saturn will lose its rings! They’ll either be sucked into the planet by its gravitational pull or get thrown out into space!

The Cassini Spacecraft captured this stunning image of Saturn in color and its rings opposite the sun, the unilluminated side, another view not visible from Earth. Image Credit: Cassini…

The "wisps" are relatively young fractures on the trailing hemisphere of Dione's (698 miles or 1123 kilometers across) icy surface. The image was taken in…
