SPACE-ASTRONOMY-SATURN


An undated handout of an artists impression released by Nasa to illustrate the extent of the largest ring around Saturn, discovered by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Stunned astronomers have discovered that a small, distant moon of Saturn has the largest ring in the Solar System. Phoebe, a Saturnian satellite measuring only 214 kilometres (133 miles) across, has a circle of dusty debris with a diameter of some 13 million kms (8.12 million miles), they report on October 7, 2009 in Nature, the weekly British science journal.
