This article kind of amazes me, for as long as we've recorded information about our galaxy, saturn has had rings around it, making it one of (if not the most) iconic planets in our solar system, and because of that hearing that they are just over a 100 million years old doesn't surprise me, but what does surprise me is that this is considered young?
a 100 million years is a ludicrous amount of time, that's taking things back to when the dinosaurs walked the earth, so to think that the rings of saturn still have at least ANOTHER 100 million years to go is kind of crazy. It also interests me to hear that right now, these rings aren't even impressive compared to what they would be back then, definitely something that I want to learn more about.
