Saturn’s rings are vanishing

Scientists report that Saturn’s iconic rings have temporarily disappeared from view.

They explain that this is due to a rare event known as a “ring plane crossing,” where the thin, flat rings align edge-on with Earth, making them nearly invisible.

This phenomenon occurs as dust and ice particles in the rings shift position, creating the illusion that the rings have vanished.

Notably, this is the first ring plane crossing since 2009, making it a significant astronomical event.
