The satellite Cassini passed through a less dense section of Saturns rings and was met only by dust particles, despite the rings being populated by objects between 10 meters and the size of mountains.
Comment on Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 days agoPretty sure its the asteroid belt, not planetary rings, that you don’t really need to think about when passing through.

It’s my understanding that the idea of a dense asteroid belt (the kind Han Solo might try to hide in) is basically pure fiction, they don’t exist. However… that is essentially exactly what some parts of a planetary ring system may look like up close. So perhaps Han could hide in a planetary ring.
