Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Original Caption Released with Image: Saturn's F, or outermost ring was photographed from the un-illuminated face of the rings by Voyager 1 at a range of 750,000 kilometers (470,000 miles). Complex structure is evident, with several components seen. Two narrow, braided, bright rings that trace distinct orbits are evident. Visible is a broader, very diffuse component about 35 kilometers (20 miles) in width. Also seen are "knots," which probably are local clumps of ring material, but may be mini-moons. The Voyager Project is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA. Public domain: This file is in the public domain because it was created by NASA.

Español: El anillo F se halla a unos 80.000 kilómetros (1,3 veces el radio de Saturno) de la superficie de este planeta y a 4.000 kilómetros del borde exterior del anillo A. En noviembre de 1980 en fotografías hechas por el Voyager 1 a su paso por la vecindad del planeta, constaba de tres cintas, cada una de ellas de una anchura de unos 30 kilómetros. Las dos cintas más externas, que mostraban arrugas, torsiones y nudos, parecían trenzadas o al menos cortarse entre sí. Sin embargo, cuando nueve meses más tarde llegó el Voyager2, en agosto de 1981, el anillo F había cambiado ya de estructura. Predominaba entonces una cinta sin trenzar y aparecían como compañeras otras tres cintas más débiles.
