Saturn's rings are younger than humans initially thought, this week on Planetary Radio.

I'm Sarah Alahmet of the Planetary Society with more of the human adventure across our

solar system and beyond. Richard Derson and Paul Estrada joined me this week to talk about

their research about Saturn's rings. Their findings show that the ring system didn't

form with the planet. The event that created them happened much more recently, cosmically

speaking. Not just that, but the rings are disappearing over time. We'll get into all

of the details. Then Bruce Betz and I will share what's going to happen in the upcoming

night sky and talk about bug constellations. And if you enjoy shiny space nail polishes

and fun facts, you'll want to stick around for our space trivia contest.

We got some cool findings from the James Webb Space Telescope last week, but that thing

just keeps cranking out the hits. JWST has imaged the faintest galaxy ever detected.

The ultra faint galaxy, which is called JD1, is thought to be one of the universe's earliest

galaxies. It was formed during a time called the epoch of re-ionization. That's when light

first began to permeate through the fog of hydrogen in the early universe.

Back on Earth, the United States Federal Aviation Administration and the Commerce Department

are working to manage space traffic and debris. A new bill from the US House of Representatives

tasked the FAA with tracking objects and orbit that might re-enter the atmosphere and could

pose a threat to aircraft. The Commerce Department is also responsible for managing orbital

traffic, so they could potentially duplicate the FAA's efforts.

And if you enjoy pictures from Mars Rovers, we've got a new and beautiful one that you'll

want to check out. Day in and day out, the Curiosity Rover lives on Mars, and while it was

stationary for a day, the NASA Rover captured two views of marker band valley in the foothills
