A new ring (technically band) has been discovered around Saturn.

Pretty cool - especially since it is at a 'tilt" compared to the others.

I remember watching a show on the history channel about the rings and they "suspected" this but didn't have proof.

The ring may also help explain an age-old mystery surrounding another of Saturn's moons: Iapetus.

Astronomer Giovanni Cassini, who first spotted Iapetus in 1671, deduced the moon has a white and dark side -- akin to a yin-yang symbol. But scientists did not know why.

The new ring orbits in the opposite direction to Iapetus. And, say researchers, it's possible that the moon's dark coloring is a result of the ring's dust particles splattering against Iapetus like bugs on a windshield.

Even thinking of the amazing things in our own solar system I still can't even start to imagine what lies elsewhere.
