DescriptionNewsatmoons.gif	English: During these crossings, the rings of Saturn appeared "edge-on" to observers on Earth, allowing a search for new Saturnian satellites and studies of the fainter rings. However, these crossings yielded no new discoveries of Saturnian moons. Two moons detected during the first ring plane crossing, designated 1995S1 and 1995S2, (see press release at the bottom of this page) were later found to be the known moons Atlas and Prometheus, respectively. Later discoveries, designated 1995S3 to S7, are thought to be transient clumps of unknown origin in the F-ring. These features were not observed again on later ring plane crossings. They were hypothesized to be shattered moonlets, as described in a NASA press release of 5 October 1995.
