“SATURN’S RING SYSTEMS AS SEEN FROM VOYAG”
The properly informative JPL caption below likely preceded the crap above. Maybe the content of the original was too much for the underachieving NASA ‘caption writer’ to comprehend & intelligently paraphrase, with “ONE PART of Saturn's ring system TO ANOTHER” misunderstood as being more than one ring system. Then capped off with “VOYAG”. Why not.
Although it doesn’t really matter, there’s still no excuse, THIS is NOT the ‘rocket science’ part.
JPL’s version:
“Possible variations in chemical composition from one part of Saturn's ring system to another are visible in this Voyager 2 picture as subtle color variations that can be recorded with special computer-processing techniques. This highly enhanced color view was assembled from clear, orange and ultraviolet frames obtained Aug. 17, 1981, from a distance of 8.9 million kilometers (5.5 million miles). In addition to the previously known blue color of the C-ring and the Cassini Division, the picture shows additional color differences between the inner B-ring and outer region (where the spokes form) and between these and the A-ring. The Voyager project is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.”
