Further study of radiation data revealed that besides the fifth and sixth ("E" and "F") Saturnian rings observed a few days before in Pioneer photos, there was an outermost and tenuous seventh ring as much as 960,000 km (600,000 miles) from the planet.

Because this field traps particles radiated from the sun, Saturn has radiation belts that Pioneer detected as it neared...
