Is Saturn losing its rings?

Is Saturn losing its rings?

The phenomenon, which stumped Galileo in the 1600s, is called a “ring plane crossing.” While the Earth has an equinox every six months, Saturn’s are more spaced out — in fact, it orbits the sun once every 29.5 years.

The sixth planet from the sun, Saturn, is perhaps best known for its many rings, which consist of billions of particles of ice and rock. But throughout the next several months, if you look at Saturn with a telescope, you’ll see something strange – the rings seem to be disappearing. That’s because about every 14 to 15 years, the tilt of the planet is such that we on Earth see the rings edge-on. In reality the rings are still there, but they appear nearly invisible from Earth

So there's your answer no

the sumerians described this great "white bowl" in the sky that came and cleansed the earth.

if a nuclear chain reaction ah-sploded-ed saturn, then the rings would come our way and i wonder as they approached real close.. if they'd kind of fume like cigarette smoke away from one another and look like a big white bowl to us coming to clean our clocks.
