Made up primarily of ice water, Saturn’s rings are held in orbit by the complex gravitational influences of the gas giant and its moons – some of which are actually located within the rings! The facts about Saturn’s rings are made ever more vivid and real when accompanied by the pictures taken by countless telescopes and passing spacecraft.
