From the West Side of the Capitol came the strains of an old spiritual i woke up this morning with my mind straight on voyager finds 3 More rings around Neptune by the Washington Post Pasadena Calif. The continuing burst of spectacular images from voyager 2 s last picture show revealed saturday the planet Neptune has a Halo of five rings of orbiting rubble. Three rings were discovered in the latest dispatches from space which also show that the Lumpy outer ring discovered earlier is embedded with at least six tiny Moon cts. The images were captured when the rings were Back lighted by the Sun just after voyager plunged Over Nep tune s North pole to its far Side Friday morning. They were stored on Board voyager 2 and played Back later when the frenzy of tasks to be accomplished during the close encounter had subsided. Voyager s camera found the Moon cts because of a phenomenon engineers had fought to overcome image smear ing As a result of Long exposures in the Low Light Levels at Neptune combined with voyager s Speed which was at that news Brief 1 a former sole for treason Hamburg.

In this Case smear is Good said Bradford Smith head of the team that interprets the images at the Jet propulsion Laboratory which manages the voyager Mission for the National aeronautics and space administration. In a 255-Sccono exposure for example the material in the ring smeared in one direction revealing the motion of an object orbiting at a different rate inside it. The Moonlit appears As a dark spiral snaking inside the ring. We can Sec a number of these Smith said. They Range in size up to about 12 Miles in diameter and Are separate from each other by 60 to 120 Miles. These objects could account for the puzzling lumpiness in the outer ring which is six to nine Miles wide Smith said. Scientists first thought the outer ring was Only a partial arc but after having a look from another Angle they think that it is a Complete Circle around Neptune. The rings Are difficult to count because two of them a every broadband the material in them is thinly spread. Two of the newly discovered rings May actually fill in the space Between the two previously sighted rings creating one vast band of dust and boulders Smith said. However Many there Are they form concentric bands in the plane around the planet s Equator and extend out 23,300 Miles from its Cloud tops he said. The third new ring which shows up Only in the close encounter images appears to be about 620 Miles wide and is located closest to Neptune about 1,550 Miles from its Cloud tops. Voyager 2 has shattered previous theories based on ground observations that Neptune had Only partial arcs and no Complete rings. Now it is known to be More nor Mal resembling the other ringed outer planets. But this has also presented a problem of nomenclature with scientists confused about How to Label the proliferating rings or wide bands. It was simple when we had Only two rings said one. A Light sensor aboard voyager provided additional information on the strange outermost ring. Measuring Light fro the Star Sigma Sagittarius As it passed behind the ring it showed the band has a Core about 10 Miles wide and thin Ner material about 30 Miles wide.
