Mangalore :  People worship Saturn as god out of fear because in astrology, the planet stands for delay and obstacles. Keep Saturn well placed, say astrologers, to get married early in life and prosper.
But scientists are not charmed in that way. They are wandering about the beautiful rings in multicolours round the large planet as other planets may have their moons, but not those shapely rings. The mystery about the set of rings Saturn wears like bangles on a woman’s wrist, has been solved.
Scientists say that 45 million years ago a moon or a sub-planet hit the Saturn so hard that the rings came into view like colourful bangles, with some icy satellites created between the empty space round the planet and its rings. So the rings are made out of the broken pieces of a sub-planet or a satellite. Some heavenly bodies have polluted the icy atmosphere of Saturn, the scientists of space suggested.
Whereas the Jupiter has 4 large satellites, Saturn (even bigger than J) has only one. The rings add to the beauty and colours of an abominable planet such as Shani or Saturn.
