Cassini Spacecraft Shows Saturnīs Ring System Has Atmosphere
Oxygen molecules held in place by gravity, ring particle movement

Data from the Cassini spacecraft indicate that Saturn´s majestic ring system has its own atmosphere, separate from that of the planet, according to an August 17 press release from the European Space Agency (ESA).

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and Agenzia Spaziale Italiana, the Italian space agency.

During its close fly-bys of Saturn’s ring system, Cassini´s instruments showed that the environment around the rings is an atmosphere composed mainly of oxygen molecules, similar to the atmospheres of Jupiter´s moons Europa and Ganymede.
