The particles in Saturn's rings are composed primarily of water ice and range from microns to meters in size. The rings show a tremendous amount of structure on all scales; some of this structure is related to gravitational perturbations by Saturn's many moons, but much of it remains unexplained.
Thats a quote BTW!

Ice, rocks, stuff like that--
maybe what is left of a crushed moon? Nobody knows exactly, but they are finding out more every second now.. They are learning a lot about gravity I guess- by the formations.. Cool stuff.
Edit-- hehe Kinetic beat me too it-
I didn't quote though..  |

That's an awesome photo, one of the best of Saturn I've ever seen. I've been following the progress of Cassini lately on the Spaceflightnow news site, but they put only a few pictures there and I haven't had time lately to take a more indepth look at the nasa site.
We'll see true scientiffic discoveries in January (you know what will happen then, don't you), thats for shure!
