The Cassini probe took its final orbits, referred to as the Grand Finale Orbits (GFOs), in 2017, before launching itself into Saturn's atmosphere. During these GFOs, the probe collected samples of dust above and below Saturn's rings for analysis with its Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA). Now, researchers have published a new study in The Planetary Science Journal, revealing that this data indicates Saturn's famous rings extend much further above and below the ring plane than the thin rings we see through a telescope.
