Scientific paper

The azimuthal brightness variations in Saturn's rings are shown to be
due to occultations of ring particles by clouds of fine particles and
dust formed during collisions of friable snow particles. A quantitative
model of the azimuthal asymmetry is developed, and the particle density
of Saturn's rings is estimated to be 0.1-0.15 g/cu cm.
