SATURN'S RINGS PRESENT PLANET RAINThe study, carried out by experts from the British University of Leicester, became aware of the amazing interaction with their orbiting Saturn#39;s rings. It turns out that in the atmosphere of a gas giant enters the water flowing from its rings.



Every day in the planet#39;s atmosphere comes pretty significant amount of water equal to the volume filled with the Olympic swimming pool. Once again, it was confirmed that Saturn#39;s atmosphere interacts with the system of its rings.


The first assumption about the rain, falling from the rings of Saturn, it has been about 30 years ago, during the Voyager mission. The probe revealed several bands on the planet with a distinctive color. These bands are formed when water gets into the ionosphere. Only in 2011, using the Hawaiian Keck Observatory, scientists have shown the relationship of the atmosphere gas planet with its rings. According to experts, the coordinates of the dark bands in the ionosphere fully correspond to the location of the Rings.
