Saturn's rings to 'disappear' by 2025, but they will be back

Saturn's famous rings will soon disappear from Earth's view due to an optical illusion caused by the planet's tilt. By 2025, the rings will become almost invisible, but they will return in 2032 when Saturn rotates and showcases the other side of its rings. The rings are thin and when they are edge-on to Earth, they appear to disappear. However, experts believe that the rings themselves could be about 100 million years old and may erode within a few hundred million years.
