We analyze data from the Cassini UVIS instrument as it observed stellar occultations, when stars go behind Saturn's rings, to learn more about the structure of the rings and the sizes of the ice particles within the rings. In particular, we are analyzing data in which more than one star at a time is being occulted by Saturn's rings. This is useful because the measurements from each star occur near in time and in a similar location within the rings, whereas most stellar occultations are more separated in time.
