	Planetary ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a result, current ring systems must be of modern origin, possibly formed of debris from a moon that suffered a large impact or was disrupted by the parent planet's gravity when it passed within the Roche limit.
		The gravity of shepherd moons serves to maintain a sharply defined edge to the ring; material that drifts closer to the shepherd moon's orbit is either deflected back into the body of the ring, ejected from the system, or accreted onto the moon itself.
		It is thought that the gravitational influence of the shepherd moon Galatea and possibly other as-yet undiscovered shepherd moons are responsible for this clumpiness.

		Three times do I pour libation, and thrice, my Lady Moon, I speak this spell:- Be it with a friend that he lingers, be it with a leman he lies, may he as clean forget them as Theseus, of old, in Dia--so legends tell--did utterly forget the fair-tressed Ariadne.
		But he was singing of Galatea, and pining in his place he sat by the sea-weed of the beach, from the dawn of day, with the direst hurt beneath his breast of mighty Cypris's sending,--the wound of her arrow in his heart!

		When the Moon is full on Wednesday night it will be just about as close to Earth as it gets in its elliptical orbit, the U.S. space agency said.
		At the far end of its ellipse, called apogee, the moon is 252,700 miles from Earth.
		In addition, the Earth at this time of year is closer to the sun on its own elliptical orbit, and therefore the moon is as well, so it has more of the sun's light to reflect, adding to its brightness.

	Observations of Neptune draw rings around theory about arcs
		In this case, the theory held that the resonance between the arcs and a nearby small moon, Galatea, created 86 stable segments along the ring (and of the 86, only a few had the extra material in them -- perhaps from collisions between larger debris -- that caused them to show up as arcs).
		That theory held that the stable zones could be created by the action of two moons, Galatea and another moon in the arcs' orbit.
		Or moons, plural: Sicardy and Christophe Dumas, leader of the Hubble team, said that two or more additional satellites might be acting as shepherds for the arcs, creating a complex web of resonances.
