A groundbreaking study by researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo and the Paris Institute of Planetary Physics challenges the long-held belief that Saturn’s rings are a mere 100 million years old. New computer models suggest they could be as ancient as the Solar System itself, with mechanisms preventing dust accumulation maintaining their bright, clean appearance. This finding could reshape our understanding of Saturn’s moons, especially Enceladus, and their potential for habitability. Source and details of the news
