Scientists solve planetary ring riddle

In a breakthrough study, an international team of scientists, including Professor Nikolai Brilliantov from the University of Leicester, has solved an age-old scientific riddle by discovering that planetary rings, such as those orbiting Saturn, have a universally similar particle distribution.

The study, which is published in the academic journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), also suggests that Saturn’s rings are essentially in a steady state that does not depend on their history.

Universal like all star systems work in the same manner as our star system. It's interesting that a repeating mathematical proportion is found in the particles and rocks of Saturn's rings. I guess that in the greater scheme of things that is good for space travel that more of these consistencies can be forecasted, leaving less to surprise the future astronaut.
