Saturn er kjent som \u2018ringenes herre\u2019, selv om de tre andre gigantiske gassplanetene \u2013 Jupiter, Uranus og Neptun \u2013 ogs\u00e5 har ringer. Saturns system skiller seg ut, siden ringene er ekstremt lyse og sv\u00e6rt store.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Det kan v\u00e6re restene av en satellitt eller en komet som har g\u00e5tt i stykker. Da de ble oppdaget p\u00e5 1600-tallet, viste tegninger at de s\u00e5 ut som enorme \u2018Mickey Mouse-\u00f8rer\u2019 p\u00e5 hver side av planeten. Etter hvert som teleskopene ble bedre, inns\u00e5 astronomene at de best\u00e5r av millioner av is- og steinfragmenter. Hullene i ringene er ryddet av tyngdekraften fra n\u00e6rliggende m\u00e5ner.<\/p>\n

Som en gigantisk CD har de flate ringene en diameter p\u00e5 over 275 000 km \u2013 bredt nok til \u00e5 fylle det meste av avstanden mellom Jorden og M\u00e5nen \u2013 men de er mindre enn 1 km tykke. N\u00e5r Saturn og Jorden beveger seg opp og ned i sine baner, endrer utsikten v\u00e5r over ringene seg. I 2003 var de p\u00e5 sitt lyseste og vakreste. Men hvert 15. \u00e5r ser vi dem fra siden. Da er de usynlige for alle unntatt de st\u00f8rste teleskopene. Dette er et godt tidspunkt \u00e5 lete etter sm\u00e5 m\u00e5ner i n\u00e6rheten av ringene.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
