Saturn’s rings are long thought to be between 100 million and 400 million years old based on more than a decade of observations by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft before its demise in 2017.

New research suggests that Saturn's rings may be older than they look — possibly as old as the planet. Instead of being a youthful 400 million years old as commonly
