NASA’s JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) announced that Saturn’s rings have not actually disappeared and explained the reason behind the phenomenon. The lab said, “Due to their tilt from the perspective of Earth, the planet’s rings have appeared to vanish. But don’t worry – as Saturn continues to rotate, the rings will become visible again.” Saturn’s rings have not completely disappeared but only seem to vanish because of the planet’s axial tilt, in an event known as a ring-plane crossing. The Saturn's rings are extremely thin, when their edge aligns with Earth, they reflect very little sunlight and appear invisible or nearly invisible. This is a natural, cyclical event that occurs approximately every 13 to 15 years. Is 3I/ATLAS Spinning? New Footage Raises Questions About Interstellar Comet, Check All Viral Claims.
