Saturn's halo , discovered by humans around the 17th century. In the following centuries, humans were full of speculation about Saturn Rings : including the structure and formation of Saturn Rings. In recent years, with the improvement of human space exploration technology, humans have a relatively deep understanding of Saturn's rings - especially in 2017, human probes crossed the halo belt of Saturn , confirming the real scene of Saturn's rings and unraveling humans' conjectures about the truth about Saturn's rings.

You should know what was Saturn's rings composed of in the 1990s, or was it a topic that made people feel mysterious and controversial. I remember that many popular science programs on TV stations also said that they were magical about the truth about the ring of Mars.

While studying the true situation of Saturn's rings, humans have also proposed some hypotheses to prove the birth of Saturn's rings.

Regarding the formation of Saturn's rings, there is a hypothesis that the formation of Saturn's rings may involve the demise of a satellite, .

1. Saturn that cannot be logged in

Although using the astronomical telescope to observe the distant Saturn from the earth, many people will think that Saturn's rings are beautiful and mysterious. However, in fact, Saturn's rings are mainly composed of rocks, ice and even cosmic dust. Moreover, these rocks and ice cubes are at a certain distance from each other. However, the earth is too far away from Saturn, so from the perspective of the earth, Saturn's rings seem to be a whole.

Although Saturn is nominally called Saturn, there is basically no land on Saturn. Just as Mars has no fire and Jupiter has no wood, Saturn is an gas planet , and its main component is hydrogen. According to analysis, Saturn's core is generally rock and ice. In theory, humans can only detect Saturn, but cannot land - after all, although Saturn's core is rock, the gaseous state of Saturn means that humans will never land on this planet.

However, although Saturn cannot land, Saturn has a large number of moons. So far, humans have discovered 82 satellites. Among them, Enceladus is regarded by scientists as a planet with possible life.

2, the formation and disappearance of Saturn's rings

Of course, so far, there is no solid evidence to prove the formation of Saturn's rings. However, there are many versions of the conjecture about Saturn's rings. One version believes that the formation of Saturn's rings is actually based on the destruction of a satellite.

Therefore, the emergence of Saturn's rings also makes people feel the cruelty and ruthlessness between celestial bodies.

It is generally believed that the formation of Saturn's rings was about 100 million years ago. Of course, 100 million years is a very long time for mankind. But for the universe, 100 million years is just a blink of an eye.

Some analysts believe that more than 100 million years ago, there was a satellite around Saturn called "Chrysanthesalis", which is basically a satellite composed of water ice. Its size is about the same as that of Pluto .

Under the influence of Saturn and Neptune , the chrysalis butterfly was torn into several larger pieces by the force about 100 million years ago. At the same time, with the powerful force of Saturn, the fragments formed by the pupae are further divided, and eventually, these fragments are scattered around Saturn, forming Saturn's rings.

Of course, Saturn's rings did not exist at the beginning and would not exist forever. Some astronomers estimate that Saturn's rings will disappear in about 300 million years. The reason is Saturn's gravity problem. Under the effect of Saturn's gravity, the rocks, ice and cosmic dust in Saturn's rings have been absorbed into Saturn one after another by Saturn. Therefore, with this process, Saturn's rings will be absorbed by Saturn in about 300 million years.

For the earth, the rise and fall of Saturn's rings are accompanied by the great changes on the earth. Because 100 million years ago, when Saturn's rings were created, the earth was still in the age of dinosaurs. And 300 million years later, the years when Saturn's rings disappear, perhaps another unimaginable scene on Earth.
