Emerging Astronomers September – What Are Saturn’s Rings, Really

Everyone knows Saturn has rings — but what are they made of, where did they come from, and how long will they last? Junior sessions continue on Monday 14 September. We’ll go past the famous picture to the real thing: rings sculpted by tiny moons, a world with rivers and rain where you could strap on wings and fly, and another firing water into space from a hidden ocean that might hold life. Saturn is at its best in our sky right now, so everyone leaves with something to go and look at.
