I am scared as hell.

Opinions are like...
We all have opinions - indeed we do, just like we all have... well however, that saying goes. The point is, we all have opinions. What we forget however, is that opinion doesn't equal fact. And yet many of us are guilty of laying down our opinions as if they are irrefutable fact. And we choose our opinions as hills to die on. We state them, sometimes vehemently, and then refuse to budge. We shut out listening to anything else that might conflict with our opinion. In fact, too many of us take any other expressed opinion as an assault on our own opinion. Triggered by fight or flight, the challenge is accepted and the dual begins.

Why does Saturn have a ring?
Larger rings are usually only about 30 feet in diameter, but the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft found the exact shape of some of the rings, with particles accumulating in bumps and hills more than 3 km high. The rings are wide and thin. The largest of the rings is 282,000 miles (175,000 miles) from the earth. There are between 500 and 1,000 rings in total, about 240,000 miles wide (about a distance from Earth to the Moon) and about 330 feet in diameter.
