SCIENTISTS ANNOUNCED yesterday that Pioneer II had detected a sixth ring
around Saturn during the first spacecraft encounter with the planet's ring system.
Photo above was taken as Pioneer was outbound from the planet on its endless
trajectory which will take the spacecraft beyond the solar system.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) -4
Scientists monitoring the Pioneer n-
spacecraft yesterday announced the
discovery'of a sixth ring around Saturn
and tentatively identified a 12th moon
before the space probe sailed into the
reaches of deepest space.
The announcement of a "G" ring was
made by James Trainor, who said the
ring lies between the moons Titan anti
Rhea.
THE RING'S existence was
established by the activity of energized
particles, Trainor said, adding therI
was not enough data to determine the
ring's color or composition.
Earlier, scientists announced the,
tentative finding of an "E" ring bet,
ween the "D" and "F" rings - which iq
confirmed would ,bring to seven tie
number of rings known to circle Saturin
Discovery of the 12th moon was ai-
nounced by John Simpson, who said tI
was about 300 miles in diameter, or=
biting about 60,000 miles from the
planet's surface.
"WE HAVE FOUND a new satellite"
said Thomas Gehrels, a key NASA
project scientist. But said there was a
50-50 chance Pioneer actually detected
a moon whose existence was alreadq
known.
Scientists were checking the data t4
determine if the 12th moon actually
eitists. There was speculation amoii
some scientists that the new moon, lile
the others orbiting Saturn, was com
posed of ice.
It was also disclosed that a tran-
smission by a Soviet satellite did not in
terfere with Pioneer's transmission of
information on the moon Titan as was
reported Tuesday.
ANDREW INGERSOLL said Pioneer
successfully transmitted the data, bit-
the information was not as detailed as
he would have liked.
"The good news is Titan is there. The'
bad news is we barely saw it: We have a.:
good deal less data than we want,". he,
said. Ingersoll said the data gave some
information about the moon's at-~
mosphere, but gave no direct infor-:
mation about Titan itself.
The 15 minutes of interference repor
ted earlier turned out have been caused
by solar storms and ended before,
Pioneer began to collect data about
Titan, Ingersoll said.
