How long has Saturn had its rings? Not as long as we fucking thought, apparently. AstronomerWizards have concluded they originated from a violent event, somewhere between 10 and 100 million years ago.

Check out Uranus contrasted against the rings of Saturn
Spa-spa-spa-space! It’s not without its humbling glimpses into the perspective of It All. Here’s a pretty sexy image snagged by Cassini that features Uranus against the rings of Saturn.
CASSINI crosses Saturn’s Ring Plane. MAGIC TRICK occurs.
How about dis sheeeeeet? Cassini is rocking out, all gobbling up pictures of Saturn and shit when WHOOSH the goddamn rings disappear. Now you’re thinking what I’m thinking.

It’s a matter of perspective.
