Our eyes cannot behold the beauty 0! Saturn's rings without a magnifier. The first person who saw them was the great Italian astronomer, Galileo. He used a homemade, heginner-typ- e telescope. This was more than 360 years ago. Many astronomers have tried to figure how those bright golden nngs 'were formed. They made several good suggestions but nobody knew for sure. Now someone has put forth a surpnsmg, brand-ne- suggestion soon, a Manner-typ- e spacecraft will survey faraway Saturn and relay closc-u- p information back to cunous-mindepeople on the earth.

Astronomers cannot prove how Saturn got its golden halo. Until recently, the most popular theory suggested they were formed by an accident. As we know, our goiden moon is held in a capuv orbit. It is held there by the mighty pull of the earths gravity. The same holds true for the moons of Saturn. We know that the big planet holds .10 orbiting moons. Powerful satellite telescopes were needed to detect the small ones and there may be others. happened Saturn. on the surface of body can prove it. We still have volcanic on the earth. So do Mars and other planets. We had a w hopper in the 1880s that blew the top off a mountain. There is evidence that the earth had even bigger ones in the dim distant past. So did Mars. Ages ago, gigantic eruptions on the giant planets might have exploded lots of material out into, space. Some may have taken off and become moons. Some may, just may, have stayed fairly close to home and formed the golden rings around Saturn. out-bur- is The idea arose from an unusual comet that appeared in 1969. Astronomers had thought that all comets are oldtimers, older than the planets. A comet called 1969e proved to be a youngster. It seems logical to suppose that It may have been created from material that exploded out into space by a volcanic eruption. The new theory suggests that on Saturn a may have erupted the ring material far above the surface. This new idea is an interesting one, but so far no super-volcan- o Pom tail Many astronomers suspect ed that long ago a satellite came too close to its giant parent planet. And the gravity of mighty Saturn shattered it to pieces. It was thought that the rings were formed by the still orbiting fragments, around, above the planets By On Stage Hfe1 Leonard Starr Bv )l .I HAVING TROUBLE FORGOT MYSELF AND RETURNED ASSIMILATING THIS, THE FAVOR 'dUT...

Someone deduced that the fragments must be particles, possibly dust and icy crystals of frozen gases. finer-than-fi- Andv Capp But recently radar detectors have revealed that at least some of the ring particles are sizable chunks, perhaps like stones and boulders. And right after this, a Russian astronomer suggested that the rings may not be an accidentally shattered moon at all. They just might have been created by shattering accidents that 'COMMON ANDY DON'T KEEP TME OKAY, CHAUtClE, OKAY, RED, H I'LLJSE Bv Reg.
