✦ Synopsis

The three rings A, B and C of Saturn and the two gaps French and Cassini divisions in between them have been subjected to a study of deterministic chaos and we have shown the existence of spatially distributed strange attractors, implying thereby that the system is open, dissipative, nonequilibrium and non-Markovian in character.
