NASA Claims That
Saturn's Rings Are Disappearing The planet's rings, which are largely made up of frozen water, dump incredible amounts of ice and rain onto the planet. A new paper from NASA suggests that over time, the rain will bleed the rings completely dry. NASA adds that the phenomenon drains enough water to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool every 30 minutes. The paper explains that the rings are being pulled into the planet by gravity under the influence of Saturn’s "magnetic field." NASA, via statement Scientists are still trying to learn how Saturn gained its rings, which consist mostly of ice and rock.
