Strange Bulge in Saturn’s Rings

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft took this surprising photograph of Saturn’s rings precisely edge-on. What’s unusual is the strange bulge right at the edge of the rings. It’s possible this bulge is created by a kilometer-sized chunk of material that’s disrupting the ring material with its gravity. It could also be an effect of viewing the rings perfectly edge-on; normally faint material becomes visible when viewed at this angle.
