They have come to estimate the age of Saturn's rings, this is a new study led by a physicist at the University of Boulder in the United States and has provided the strongest evidence so far that Saturn's rings are very young in cosmic scale.

Have you ever seen Gordon Ramsay's shows, where he goes into a kitchen or a hotel room and runs his finger through the layer of dust and from this he can deduce how long it hasn't been cleaned, the place, well, the method he used. The scientists followed was similar. They measured the amount of dust that had accumulated in the rings to find out how old they were.

But thanks to that research, during those 13 years, the analyzer collected 163 grains of dust, very little even for Gordon Ramsay, but enough to make a calculation about the rate of dust that is deposited in Saturn's rings, with that calculation they were able to They analyzed the age of Saturn's rings and came to the conclusion that they were at most 400 million years old, which, as I already said, is very little on a cosmic scale.
