...puzzling new findings. Barely had Voyager 1's cameras zeroed in on these thin, elegant discs than scientists spotted two new moons no more than 600 km (370 miles) across at the edge of the ring system. They were designated 513 and S-14, because they are the 13th and 14th to be discovered. 513 circles Saturn just outside the so-called Fring, which is about 80,000 km (50,000 miles) from the planet's cloud tops -the gaseous sphere has no real surface. 514 revolves just inside that ring. Like dogs herding sheep along a narrow...

...discoveries are coming fast. At a pre-encounter press conference last week, University of Arizona Astronomer Bradford Smith announced two previously undetected moons-Saturn's 13th and 14th known satellites-probably no more than 320 km (200 miles) in diameter and 80,000 km (50,000 miles) above its clouds. The scientists also reported puzzling complexities-apparently less dense regions-in the planet's ring system; the varying speeds of material traveling in different portions of the rings should presumably smooth out such features, but somehow they survive for hours at a time. Finally, the scientists confirmed...
