of the outermost ring of Saturn, the seeming solidness gradually changed. What had appeared from far away to be almost a shining unbroken surface, became now a shifting mass, very much the same way that a diver leaping from a high board over a pool detects the tiny wavelets that move across the pool’s surface as he plunges downward—wavelets that had not been noticed from his higher perch. For a moment Bruce had the odd impression that he was diving into a golden sea. But this impression changed again as the sea seemed to draw apart into droplets, moving together in one great current, but still, droplets separate from each other. He leveled his boat out to skim above the flow, adjusted his controls so that his speed caught up with that of the current, so that the glowing droplets now slowed down until from his viewpoint in the boat they were at last standing still. This was an illusion, of course, because it merely meant that Bruce was now moving in the same direction they were and at the same speed.
