Merge with Rhea (moon)

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

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?

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

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]
