Saturn's Rings Are Acting Strange

New images of Saturn from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope herald the start of the planet’s “spoke season” surrounding its equinox, when enigmatic features appear across its rings. The cause of the spokes, as well as their seasonal variability, has yet to be fully explained by planetary scientists.

Saturn is one of most beautiful planets.

Is there a part of Saturn that isn't acting strange?

Ну кольца то не пластиковые, там разве не может быть камней очень крупных?

Может быть это из-за перепада температуры, плюс оптический эффект... Сектор колец выходит из тени планеты, какой-то газ в том секторе размораживается и получается временная деформация. Похоже на облако над кольцами.

I suspect this is not a NASA video or else it would have had a narration. Probably another Brit with a terrible accent using U.S. information to boost their channel.

I see nothing "strange" about it. Only that Saturn if defying expectations that might have been faulty to begin with. Learn from it.
