These side-by-side views of a star seen through Saturn's densely populated B ring show marked contrast between the region where spokes -- the ghostly radial features periodically seen in the B ring -- are produced and regions where no spokes are seen.

Ring scientists on the Cassini Imaging Team are studying images such as these to understand the processes by which spokes are created. This difference in appearance from one location to another on the ring could provide the researchers with helpful insights into the features' formation.


helpful insights about Saturn's ring-spokes...right. :lol:
