00:00Hey, neighborino.

00:01I have a question for you about rings.

00:05Oh, c-cool.

00:06Yeah, yeah, ask away, Neptune.

00:08Neat.

00:09OK, so I wanted to know, why does Saturn have rings?

00:14Y-you do know I also have-

00:17You want to know why I have rings, my blue watery friend?

00:20Yes!

00:21Your rings are so beautiful.

00:23I'm kind of jelly.

00:25Literally.

00:26You also have rings.

00:28Even Jupiter has rings.

00:29Only the harder to notice.

00:31Oh, Uranus, you're so funny.

00:34But are you guys even listening to me?

00:37Well, I was born with my rings.

00:39Like four billion years ago, I think.

00:42You think?

00:43Actually, that's just a theory.

00:45More recent studies suggest that your rings may have originated from a moon that got too close to you.

00:50So close that gravity destroyed it.

00:52This moon's debris is what probably made your rings.

00:55W-what?

00:55They even say this whole moon destruction thing may have been going on for billions of years with other moons that formed previous rings.

01:03I k-k-killed my m-m-moons?

01:07Well, uh, I mean, it's just a theory. It's not a hundred percent certain.

01:12I k-killed my moons!

01:16I have about 27 moons.

01:19I could try to force them to crash into me.

01:21K-killed my m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m.

01:28K-killed my m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m.
