Scientific paper

The fine structure of Saturnian rings, revealed from Pioneer 1's high-resolution photographs is illustrated and discussed. Previous theories suggested to explain the Cassini and Encke divisions in the rings though gravitational effects are reexamined. It is seen that the odd phenomenon of two Saturnian satellites moving along the same orbit, one gaining slowly on the other, may be explained by a theory proposed for Uranian ring particles - namely, that instead of colliding, the gaining satellite will reverse its motion and will eventually describe a horseshoe-shaped path with respect to the other satellite.
