Rings, Moons, etc
... Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune rings much thinner, much less material. Formed by breakup of smaller bodies? Also maybe "sandblasting" of material off moon surfaces by impacts. Given rings have short lifetime and all Jovian planets have them, their formation must be common. Neptune's moon Triton is spirali ...
