Saturn's rings might not be younger than the dinosaurs as recently suggested, ... Hyodo and his colleagues developed 3D computer models simulating crashes between micrometeoroids and the rings.
An optical illusion during Saturn's equinox is to blame for the rings disappearing from view briefly. The next time this is set to happen is May 6, 2025.
And the event is relatively rare: Ring plane crossings — as the phenomenon is known — typically occur twice during the 29.4 years it takes Saturn to make one orbit around the sun.

Starting on Sunday, Saturn’s rings will seem to disappear for a few days. For the next several months, Simon said the rings will “remain very thin” to our eyes.
