Contribution of magnetism to the origin and stability of the rings of Saturn due to superconductivity of protoplanetary iced particles

It is demonstrated how Saturn rings may be originated due to interaction of iced particles (with II kind superconductivity) moving by chaotic orbits within protoplanetary cloud with magnetic field of Saturn after it appearance. Eventually all orbits of particles coming to the magnetic equator plane of Saturn where they locked within three-dimensional magnetic well due to minimum of the particles magnetic energy at the magnetic equator and quantum trapping by Abrikosov vortices. It also explains peculiarities of the rings pattern and many of observed phenomena
