Downloaded and watched a very interesting hour long lecture on Saturns rings there appears to be more moons about Saturn than we count some riding within the ring system

I was pleased to hear the lecture say that all you needed to understand was gravity and collisions to fathom what was happening within the ring system of Saturn

I wasn't surprised to see that the rings behaved similar to a pond showing that when an object such as a comet impacts the rings ripples are caused

What I often thought as a stable uniform structure is surprisingly active and changing
