http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/images/raw/casJPGFullS04/N00019699.jpg This image was obtained Monday, Sept. 27th. Note the trailed stars behind the tenuous "F" ring, as the camera tracked the rings during the exposure. Does that mean that all the untrailed points are discreet ring particles? They vastly outnumber the trailed stars, and obviously cannot be stars themselves...or do I have it reversed? Are the brighter, trailed images the ring particles, and the dimmer ones stars? I don't think so; I think we are looking at individual ring particles, the first time in history other than "shepherd moons". Can a lister more familiar with the details of the probe help solve the mystery? _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Express yourself with Y! Messenger! Free.
