Description: Original caption from NASA: Saturn's Rings (Artist's Concept) This is an artist's concept of Saturn's rings and major icy moons.

Saturn's rings make up an enormous, complex structure. From edge-to-edge, the ring system would not even fit in the distance between Earth and the Moon. The seven main rings are labeled in the order in which they were discovered. From the planet outward, they are D, C, B, A, F, G and E.
