Why won't Saturn's rings last forever?

From far away, Saturn's rings look like smooth bands. Up close, they become countless pieces of ice moving through gaps, waves, spirals, and moon-made wakes. The rings are magnificent, but they are also changing.

Follow ring particles along their separate orbits and discover how gravity creates patterns across thousands of kilometers. Enter Saturn's striped atmosphere, visit the six-sided jet stream at its north pole, and journey toward a hidden interior where hydrogen behaves in unfamiliar ways. Then travel to Titan, where methane falls as rain, and Enceladus, where icy jets spray material from a buried ocean into space.
