In The Origin of Saturn’s Intricate Rings, Professor Brian Cox visits the control center for Cassini, the spacecraft launched in 1997 that orbits Saturn. Cassini’s mission is to photograph Saturn’s rings and shed light on the origin story of the rings. Saturn behaves like a miniature Solar System with Saturn as sun, and moons that surround the rings, providing us the opportunity to learn about our own origin after the planets formed. This video is excerpted from BBC's Wonders of the Solar System, a spellbinding documentary series that explores the most extreme locations on Earth to explain how the laws of physics carved natural wonders across the Solar System.
In Fhe Creation of Saturn’s Rings, Professor Brian Cox explains how Saturn’s rings came to be and what scientists have learned from the Cassini mission. Learn how dynamic and dramatic Saturn’s iconic rings are and the role that gravity plays in creating its rings. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Planets, a series that explores the dramatic lives of the eight planets in our Solar System.
In The Rings of Saturn, Professor Brian Cox explains what scientists have learned about how Saturn’s rings came to be and how new they are. Learn which came first, Saturn’s rings or its moons. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Planets, a series that explores the dramatic lives of the eight planets in our Solar System.
Explore one of the solar system's greatest mysteries in this Kahoot about Saturn's iconic rings and the discoveries that are changing what scientists thought they knew. From clues about their origins to evidence that they may be much younger than expected, discover why Saturn's rings continue to fascinate scientists.
This Kahoot explores planetary science, space exploration, and the evidence researchers use to uncover the history of distant worlds while revealing surprising facts about one of the most recognizable features in our solar system.
Watch the BBC videos about Saturn's rings (below), then take the Kahoot and see how much you know about Saturn's spectacular and ever-changing rings.
