Rings have formed in the solar system around massive planets like Saturn and Uranus, but also dwarf planets, and at distances from the planet previously thought to be impossible.

The European Space Agency's CHEOPS telescope recently discovered a large ring around the dwarf planet Quaoar which has researchers intrigued.

The dynamic rings around Saturn are much younger than originally thought, with new research from the University of Colorado putting their age at 400 million years compared to the planet's age of ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — New research suggests that Saturn’s rings may be older than they look — possibly as old as the planet. Instead of being a youthful 400 million years old as ...

Why do Uranus and other planets have rings around them? (Lesedi, 6, Soweto, South Africa) For a very long time, Saturn was thought to be the only planet in our solar system with rings.

Being able to detect a ring around a planet that’s about 4.06 billion miles from the sun is a remarkable achievement.

Those rings and moons may actually be in a retrograde orbit, meaning they revolve backwards around the planet. A recent study used computer simulations to explain how that might happen.
