Recent telescope data revealed that a small planet in the far reaches of our solar system has a dense ring round it, and scientists are baffled as to why. CNN values your feedback 1.

Saturn has at least 146 moons, of which 63 are named—and thousands of moonlets are hiding inside its rings. Four of our planets have rings, but Saturn's are enormous and complex, in a class of ...

Just on the outskirts of our solar system exists the dwarf planet Quaoar, and recent observations of the planet found a dense ring around it, but scientists can't figure how – or why – it's there.

The rings were first observed in 1610 by the astronomer Galileo Galilei who, owing to the resolution limits of his telescope, initially described them as two smaller planets on each side of Saturn ...

Just recently on the blog I posted a series of images of Jupiter taken by JWST, some of which showed Jupiter’s faint ring. I don’t think a lot of people know that all four giant planets in our ...

The ring in question orbits Quaoar, a small dwarf planet that lies more than 4 billion miles from the sun—roughly 44 times the distance between Earth and our star.

Earth may have had rings like Saturn many, many millenia ago. However, the formation didn’t last long, and it eventually collapsed, falling to the surface of our planet, leaving craters where ...

A dwarf planet called 50000 Quaoar that orbits beyond Neptune appears to have a ring that shouldn't be there, at 7.4 times more distant than the planet's radius.

Saturn has at least 146 moons, of which 63 are named—and thousands of moonlets are hiding inside its rings. Four of our planets have rings, but Saturn's are enormous and complex, in a class of ...
