Merge with Rhea (moon)[edit]

The "Rings of Rhea" sounds very poetic, perhaps even good for an episode of Dr. Who, but surely this belongs in the main article where there is already a section headed Possible ring system. I also have problems visualising "three narrow bands embedded in a disk of solid particles". Also, aren't particles usually solid? Rotational (talk) 12:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's quite a lot of detail on this page, which I think would distract from the main subject of the Rhea (moon) page. There is quite appropriately a stub section at Rhea (moon) as well as at Rings of Saturn that directs the reader interested in more detail to this page. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 14:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course they are solid. I'm picking up common wording without thinking about how silly it is. The bands are presumably density rings, and we see at Saturn. — kwami (talk) 23:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hasn't this idea of Rhea having rings been soundly refuted! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pkohlmil (talk • contribs) 02:58, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sources? — kwami (talk) 04:26, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it should be merged, since it doesn't appear the moon actually has rings. --Hurricanehink (talk) 00:39, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Current Event[edit]

Considering this is currently in the "In The News" section of the main page, currently, doesn't this article deserve a current event tag? The freddinator (talk) 22:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Game?[edit]

What the heck does

which are now thought to remind astronomers of the three rules of The Game

mean? I assume it's just some enthusiast who thinks he/she is being cute, but maybe I'm being dense. If it's a real thing, I think it needs more explanation; if it's fake, it should go away... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gilroy0 (talk • contribs) 09:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Theory[edit]

Rhea is named after Saturn/Cronus' wife, right?

Saturn has it's ring system. So does Rhea.

In Greek mythology, Saturn and Rhea were married.

Coincidence? I think not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:3A20:25B0:E0BE:F2AA:65C9:358A (talk) 03:24, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
