"At the left side of the picture, scientists wrote, a density wave is visible, created by a gravitational interaction [of Saturn] with the moon Prometheus. Such waves are build-ups of icy debris arranged in winding patterns around the planet like the arms of a spiral galaxy." "Circles added to this image of Saturn’s A ring indicate the locations of many of small propellers, or disturbances created by the gravity from tiny moonlets."

What is the Universe? If space-time is made of quantum bits, the universe must be one giant quantum computer. If the universe is a computer program, who or what wrote the code? http://www.interactions.org/quantumuniverse/qu/index.html http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150409-can-science-ever-explain-everything

And in the news, two stars will be colliding about five years from now! I am amazed how people can predict such things considering that the history of stars goes into the hundreds of millions of years or more. And here is something happening in five years from now. Like predicting that second when a mosquito will bite a human in that human's life. I have to read up on how long an average merging process takes. http://earthsky.org/space/star-predicted-to-explode-in-2022

Hubble detects ‘Exocomets’ taking the plunge into a young star. "The gravitational influence of a suspected Jupiter-sized planet in the foreground may have catapulted the comets into the star. This star, called HD 172555, represents the third extrasolar system where astronomers have detected doomed, wayward comets. The star resides 95 light-years from Earth. ...Astronomers have found similar plunges in our own solar system. Sun-grazing comets routinely fall into our sun."
