Saturn moons may be younger than the dinosaurs

New research suggests that some of Saturn’s icy moons, as well as its famous rings, might be modern adornments. Their dramatic birth may have taken place a mere hundred million years ago, more recent than the era of the dinosaurs.
Paper finds that Saturn's moon Rhea and all other moons and rings closer to Saturn may be only 100 million years old. Outer satellites, including Saturn's largest moon Titan, are probably as old as the planet itself.

Good story: It illustrates the fact that our solar system as well as the galaxy and Universe as a whole are dynamic.
Reminds me of the Pleiades star cluster or 7 Sisters, that is visible in both North and South hemispheres and that was not around during the age of the early Dinosaurs around 100 million years old.....
