Universal Vortical Singularity enlightenment on mysterious planetary rings of Saturn

From the UVS perspective that is based on unisonal vortex mechanism, the planetary rings of Saturn are formed as a result of multiple polar vortices of many atmospheric layers have had their vortex eyes opened to the extend that they had touched the equatorial plane. The polar vortices from the two poles of the planet had compressed the atmospheres of spheroidal confinement into a thin disk as nested flat rings; the vortical effect of polar vortex pairs renders the phenomenon of planetary rings. In the Solar System, other than the planetary rings of Saturn could be observed, many of such mysterious phenomenon have also been observed on Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune. This mysterious phenomenon is merely a cognitive paradox rendered by a vortical motion that naturally negates the observer. The animation at right illustrates the top view of an atmospheric polar vortex with its vortex eye opening on a layer of cyan color atmosphere that has eventually touched the equator plane of its grey color planet. UVS qualitatively predicts that planetary rings are flattened polar vortex pairs of the outer atmospheric layers of a planet.

Note: Despite the planetary rings of Satun have been observed 400 years ago, the causality for planetary rings is still a mystery in astronomy and astrophysics.

See UVS topics on "Atmospheric polar vortex" that elaborates on how an atmospheric polar vortex is formed and driven in perpetual motion, "An apparently paradoxical universe" that illustrates on some known paradoxical illusions in natural phenomena that have been empirically observed and scientifically understood, and "The paradoxical effect of nature" that elaborates on the causality of delusionary circumstances in nature.

The intensity of a polar vortex on a viscous matter is affected by its mass, rotating speed, axis tilt, revolving speed and the precession effect of the wobbling suspended spheroid.

In the UVS worldview, the invisible flattened atmospheric pause layers that segregates a visible atmospheric layer could render the phenomenon of a planetary ring.

The NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a rare view of Saturn's nearly symmetrical aurorae on both polar regions in an enlarged image is as shown below. From the perspective of UVS, the polar aurorae are driven by its polar vortex pair. If this pair of polar vortices with an invisible lower atmospheric pause layer are opened from both polar regions till they touch the equatorial plane, they would form as an innermost planetary ring.

In January and March 2009, astronomers used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to record Saturn while its rings were edge-on. The result was a rare view of the giant planet's nearly symmetrical auroral shows, seen at both poles simultaneously. It takes Saturn almost 30 years to orbit the sun, and the opportunity to image both poles occurs only twice during that time. After processing the ultraviolet data, NASA released the image on Feb. 15.

Vortices of Saturn

From the perspective of UVS, the phenomenon of cloud bands on Saturn are formed as a result of polar vortices on different layers of atmosphere at different altitudes have their vortex eyes opened up till different latitudes, they are vortically pushed from the poles towards the equator and form as jet streams.

See a UVS topic on "Vortices of Jupiter" that elaborates on how its cloud bands are caused by polar vortexes. See also an external link on "Vortex alley of Saturn".

Based on unisonal vortex mechanism, the planetary rings of Saturn are plasmatic polar vortexes pair, this implies they are cyclonicly rotating around Saturn in high speed spin as flattened polar storms; viscous matter in jet streams are vortically propagating in a loop with closed streamlines in the form of longitudinal waves. The vortical force dynamics of viscous matter in the planetary rings in a different state of matter interacts weakly with ice and dust within the planetary rings, though optically appears as standing waves, they are actually spinning so fast and occasionally had formed different types of spoke within the flattened rings; flattened tornadoes driven by flattened polar vortexes. The force dynamics required to flatten a tornado would have to be enormous, and evidently, the planetary rings are spinning.

The image below on left most is the polar vortex of Saturn, literally hundreds of storm clouds encircle the pole, appearing as dark spots in this infrared spectrometer thermal image. Each of these spots represents a storm, these are the harmonic unisonal vortices driven by the precession effect of Saturn. See a UVS topic on "Complex vortical modeling" that explain on how the hexagonal vortex cloud feature is caused by a tri-core polar vortex of Saturn.

Through magnetohydrodynamics dynamo effect on viscous matter in vortical motion, there should be huge electrostatic charge generated in the plasmatic planetary rings, it would also have strong electromagnetic storm coupled by electromagnetic fields in different wavelengths, and therefore would have phenomenon of electrical discharge such as lightning bolts and lightning discharged in radial manner as observed. From the perspective of UVS that is based on the UVS model, the planetary rings should be encompassed in larger nested plasmatic spheroids and this suggest there should be dipole magnetic fields running vertically through the planetary rings.

Christiaan Huygens in his Systema Saturnium has described that Saturn's rings are a band of material whose appearance changes according to the planet's position with respect to Earth. This suggests gravity of Earth has effect on polar vortexes of Saturn and it is an evidence to support the concept on focused precession effects in a planetary alignment could perturb the planetary rings of Saturn. See a UVS topic on "Solar system alignment effect". The video clip on right illustrated in an external link on "Planetary Ring" shows the gravitational pertubations by Saturn's moons Prometheus and Pandora interacting on the F ring of Saturn. Evidently, in correlerated motion of these moons, it is immutable they had correspondingly formed spiral wave patterns on the planetary ring. See also UVS topics on "Orbit of satellites" in "Cosmic evolution based on the UVS model" that illustrates the vortical motion in all celestial objects, "UVS model" and a section on "Do an interactive experiment to understand the effects of torque-free precession".

The moons Prometheus and Pandora shepherd the F ring of Saturn.

Other vortical ring systems

In a comparative analysis on a larger scale from the UVS perspective, the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt are the vortical ring systems of the Sun, similar ring systems were also observed on star Fomalhaut.

UVS qualitatively predicts that ring systems of a celestial object are vortically formed in resonated motion of evenly spreaded out satellites of a nested celestial spheroid by a flattened polar vortex pairs.

For Saturn, the main axis of unisonal vortex mechanism is on rotation of planet for those polar vortices, and the secondary axis that provides the driving force is on revolution of
