Saturn has around 60 moons, some of which are located either inside or next to its majestic ring system.

Some bulges are pronounced and amorphous, while others are more skirt-like in how they’re wrapped around the moons.NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute/B. J. Buratti et al.
“The moons are giant shards left over from the impact,” Bonnie Buratti, an astronomer from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology,Gizmodo in March of 2019. “The ‘skirts’ around their equators are particles from the rings that continue to accrete. The way the moons scoop out particles in their path could be a smaller example of how planets form from smaller particles.
