Study links salty grains in Saturn’s outer ring to Enceladus plume ice
Nature reported that a new explanation links salty grains in Saturn’s outermost ring to the slow freezing of plumes from the moon Enceladus.
Nature reported that research offers an explanation for the varied icy and rocky grains in one of Saturn’s outer rings.
The work attributes the salty grains to ice formed as material from plumes on Saturn’s moon Enceladus slowly froze.
