... Particle Sizes in Saturns Rings . ... Credit: RSS , JPL , ESA , NASA Explanation: What size particles compose Saturn's rings? To help find out, the robot Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn broadcast radio waves of three different wavelengths right through the rings to Earth earlier this month. The experiment was sensitive to ring particle sizes because ring particles much larger than a broadcast radio wavelength will reflect those radio waves away. ... NASA Official: Jay Norris. ...

... Particle Sizes in Saturn's Rings . ... Explanation: What size particles compose Saturn's rings? ... The experiment was sensitive to ring particle sizes because ring particles much larger than a broadcast radio wavelength will reflect those radio waves away. ... The white center of Saturn's B-ring indicates that the density of ring particles was too high to make a good determination. Other radio observations indicate that some ring particles can be as large as several meters across. ...

We investigate the effects of dust on Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) H II region spectral energy distributions using arcminute-resolution far-ultraviolet (FUV), HЮБ, far-infrared (FIR), and radio images. Widely used indicators of the amount of light lost to dust (attenuation) at HЮБ and in the FUV correlate with each other, although often with substantial scatter. ...

Enceladus . ... Enceladus [en-SELL-ah-dus] is one of the innermost moons of Saturn. ... Parts of Enceladus shows craters no larger than 35 km in diameter. ... This Voyager 2 mosaic of Enceladus was made from images taken through the clear, violet and green filters on August 25, 1981, from a distance of 119,000 kilometers (74,000 miles). ... This image was created by projecting a digital map of Enceladus onto an orthographic view and then replacing the color channels by low resoultion color images. ...

... Most of the time large telescopes are collecting light for a spectrograph, which spreads the light out into a rainbow. ... Atoms in the cool outer layers of a star absorb light coming from the hotter regions within, producing dark absorption lines across the spectrum. ... And astronomers do not actually use color film to take a color picture of the spectrum, for several reasons: . ... Color film does a very poor job of representing the continuous range of colors in a spectrum. ... Tutorial: Part 1 |...
