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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

A recent study claims that Earth may have once had a ring. The theory would explain the presence of an odd density of impact craters around the equator dating back to the Ordovician period.

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

Saturn's rings are long thought to be up to 400 million years old but new data finds they could be around 4.5 billion years old.

Saturn’s rings will vanish in 2025, but don’t worry, they’ll return. NASA says that the rings around the planet will appear to disappear completely.

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.

Following up on its image of Neptune released last year, astronomers using Webb have just released a brand-new image of Uranus as you've never seen it before.
