Default Slashdot | The Return of Saturn's Spokes

After more than a year in orbit around Saturn, the Cassini spacecraft has
finally spotted 'spokes' in the rings. Spokes, large radial structures in the
rings, where seen by the Voyager spacecraft and have remained difficult to
fully explain. The reappearance of the spokes comes about two years earlier
than many models predicted.
