That's Saturn's F ring, there.

That's something punching through the F ring and leaving what looks like a hydrodynamic wake.

That kind of shouldn't be possible.

HOLY SHIT.

I love science.

Nope. Daphnis creates the Keeler Gap, in the A Ring - and it makes the edges of the gap "ripple", but it doesn't go stomping through like this one.

This isn't Daphnis.

Oh. Some other moon then. Saturn's got tons of 'em.

Also: damn my faulty memory of articles read in haste last week at work. DAMN IT!
