Default Mysterious Objects Punching Holes In Weird Saturn Ring

"Mysterious objects appear to be doing some damage
to Saturn's "weirdest ring," scientists say.

The discovery comes from detailed photos taken of the
Saturn system by NASA's Cassini orbiter. In these
images, researchers spotted strange objects about a
half-mile (kilometer) wide tearing through Saturn's F ring,
the thin outermost discrete ring around the planet.

As they pass through the ring, these interlopers drag
glittering ice particles out with them, creating visible
trails of debris scientists are calling "mini jets.""

As the Sirius Oort cloud starts overrunning us, there should be lots
of stuff coming through.
