I tried a promo subscription deal with Smithsonian magazine and I think it's awesome (you can get 11 months for $12 right now). Every month has 2-3 articles that are relevant and interesting. This month there's an article about a guy who among other things has studied Saturn's "ring rain." The rings are slowly disappearing (it'll take maybe 100 million years), but the material is being drawn to the atmosphere by its magnetic field at the rate of about 22,000 lbs/second. I did a search on their website and that article isn't there yet, but this older one is:
