For those of you interested in Saturn's rings you might find the new news interesting.

 

Here is a link to the animation: http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/102072main_pia06144_half_movie.gif

 

And here is a link to the article: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/media/cassini-120304.html

 

I am willing to bet this will give us more insight into Moon formation as well.

 

Scientists will use what they learn about Prometheus' interaction with the F ring to understand the gravitational exchanges between moons and rings
