Particle Sizes in Saturn's Rings

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Cassini spacecraft broadcast radio waves through Saturn's rings to Earth. This experiment helps determine the size of the ring particles. Particles much larger than a radio wavelength reflect those waves away. Three different wavelengths, about 1 centimeter, 3.5 centimeters, and 13 centimeters, were used to gather data on the ring composition.
