土星环 Rings of Saturn

(重定向自Encke Division)
卡西尼-惠更斯号于2006年9月15日拍得的土星环全貌(亮度在这张图中被强化了)
Sustermans (c. 1637).绘制的伽利略肖像
黑暗的卡西尼缝分开了在内侧宽广的B环和外侧的A环,这张影像是哈伯太空望远镜的先进巡天照相机在2004年3月22日拍摄的,较不明显的C环就在B环的里面。
卡西尼太空船从无光的一侧看见的土星环(2007年5月9日)。

土星环是太阳系行星的行星环中最突出与明显的一个,环中有不计其数的小颗粒,其大小从微米到米都有,轨道成集群的绕着土星运转。环中的颗粒主要成分都是水冰,还有一些尘埃和其它的化学物质。

虽然环的反射能够增加土星的亮度,但从地球仅凭裸眼还是看不见环。在1610年,当望远镜第一次指向天空之际,伽利略虽然未能清楚的看出环的本质,但他还是成为观察土星环的第一个人。在1655年,惠更斯成为第一个描述环是环绕土星的盘状的人。

虽然许多人都认为土星环是由许多微细的小环累积而成的(这个观念可以回溯至拉普拉斯),并有少数真实的空隙。更正确的想法是这些环是有着同心但是在密度和着亮度上有着极值的圆环盘。在集群的尺度上,圆环之间有许多空洞的空间。

Rings of Saturn 土星环

(重定向自Encke Division)
The full set of rings, imaged as Saturn eclipsed the Sun from the vantage of the Cassini orbiter, 1,200,000 km (746,000 mi) distant, on 19 July 2013 (brightness is exaggerated). Earth appears as a dot at 4 o'clock, between the G and E rings.
Simulated image using color to present radio-occultation-derived particle size data. The attenuation of 0.94-, 3.6-, and 13-centimeter signals sent by Cassini through the rings to Earth shows abundance of particles of sizes similar to or larger than those wavelengths. Purple (B, inner A Ring) means few particles are < 5 cm (all signals similarly attenuated). Green and blue (C, outer A Ring) mean particles < 5 cm and < 1 cm, respectively, are common. White areas (B Ring) are too dense to transmit adequate signal. Other evidence shows rings A to C have a broad range of particle sizes, up to meters across.
Voyager 2 view of Saturn casting a shadow across its rings. Four satellites and ring spokes are visible.
Galileo first observed the rings in 1610.

The rings of Saturn are the most extensive planetary ring system of any planet in the Solar System. They consist of countless small particles, ranging in size from micrometres to metres, that orbit about Saturn. The ring particles are made almost entirely of water ice, with a trace component of rocky material. There is still no consensus as to their mechanism of formation; some features of the rings suggest a relatively recent origin, but theoretical models indicate they are likely to have formed early in the Solar System's history.
