Sure, I can take over the astronomy beat, too


The Digital Cuttlefish tells me in rhyme that a new ring has been discovered around Saturn, a huge (13 million km radius) but low density cloud of dust that is responsible for splattering Iapetus with dark material. Very cool.

The Cuttlefish also informed me that lazy ol’ Phil Plait hasn’t covered it yet because he’s distracted with some TAM in London, so how could I resist scooping him?
