Short: Changing orientation of Saturn's rings
Author: charro@ee.ualberta.ca (Dan Charrois)
Uploader: charro@ee.ualberta.ca (Dan Charrois)
Type: gfx/anim
This animation shows how the orientation of Saturn's rings will be
changing over the next 1.5 years. 1995 is a special year for Saturn
in that we will be able to see the rings from an edge-on orientation
three times. Information on the events and their significance is
provided in the archive.
The animation was created by "The Digital Universe", a commercial astronomy
program currently undergoing beta testing. It is hoped that it will be
ready for shipping in a few months.
