Ring scientists have been waiting for this. Finally, after more than two years orbiting Saturn, the Cassini spacecraft reaches one of the ultimate vantage points. The rings should shine with majesty worthy of the "Jewel of the Solar System." |

Is this a new (albeit very faint) ring between the F and G rings?
Could this become known as the H-ring? http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...3/W00017882.jpg Ian. -------------------- |
