Saturn’s iconic icy rings may not be around for future skygazers to glimpse at through their telescopes, according to new research. As meteoroids infiltrate the rings, they push material within the innermost rings toward Saturn at a rapid rate. NASA observed that the rings were losing many tons of mass per second, which means the rings don’t have much time left, astronomically speaking. The researchers estimate that the rings will only be around another few hundred million years at most. Previous research has suggested that the rings may disappear within 100 million years.
