Knots in Saturn's Rings

Cassini took this image of the Encke Gap in Saturn's Rings. It's a small division 300 km (190 miles) wide near the outer edge of the rings. A tiny moon called Pan orbits within this region, maintains the gap, and ties the particles into this knotted shape with its gravity. The image was taken while Cassini was 807,000 km (501,000 miles) away from Saturn.

The image (and more) is on the front-page news.
As per the sticky in this forum, the threads here are just the summary of the front-page news article, so you can use this area to comment on it.
