¿Cómo se formaron los anillos de Saturno?

The video explores the enigmatic features of Saturn's rings, first discovered by Galileo in 1610. Despite early observations showing simplicity, the Voyager 1 probe in 1981 revealed their complexity, with thousands of rings made of icy particles orbiting at different speeds. Theories on their formation include remnants from Saturn's creation, gravitational capture of asteroids, and destruction of moons. Ongoing research aims to uncover more about this celestial phenomenon.
