The Universe: Saturn, Lord Of The Rings

View of Saturn in space. Caption: "Saturn: Lord of the Rings."

Are the rings of Saturn a real celestial phenomenon or merely a cosmic illusion? Technology allows the experts to get closer to the furthest planet visible to the naked eye. Old questions are answered and new ones arise. Does Saturn hold the key to Earth's weather and will one of its moons supply us with all the oil we'll ever need? Cutting-edge computer graphics are used to show what life would be like on other planets and to imagine what kinds of life forms might evolve in alien atmospheres.
