If that is the case, then, Wow! I'm beginning to "see" this a bit clearer here.
- If the new ring of Saturn is that "ring of pearls" of a planetary z-pinch then we know the axis angle of the Saturn z-pinch. Whoa!
Based on Thornhill's article there should be points above and below that axis that "may be a source of high energy particles". Look at those two points in the picture, "Double Layer (cosmic ray particles?)" to see what I mean.

- So, based on the diagram, Saturn may have two high energy points, one above, one below, between 5m to 8m miles along the z-pinch axis.
What I can "see" so far:
Each planet is inside a magnetopause(plasma ball)

that is in the middle of a planetary z-pinch, that has a ring where the z-pinch contacts the plasma flowing from the magnetopause

with possibly high energy sources above and below the axis where a double layer forms.
- That means we need to look for a ring, and those high energy sources, to find the axis of each planets magnetopause(plasma ball).
Now, what I need pinned down, is how this
Planetary Nebula small.jpg
fits inside this.

And how those twisted pairs would look inside this.

See, it all comes back to the novelty plasma ball. If you haven't bought one yet, do so. They provide endless hours of fascination.
