A large asteroid broken apart by Earth's gravitational pull could have formed a Saturn-like ring around the planet about 466 million years ago, a new study found.
Earth Had Rings Like Saturn Millions of Years Ago, Study Suggests A weird number of craters are located close to the equator, and the odds that this is random are incredibly low, researchers say.
Earth may briefly have had a ring system similar to Saturn ’s over 450 million years ago during a period of unusually intense meteorite bombardment, a new study proposes.
Like Earth, Saturn’s axis is tilted, NASA explains. Next year, Saturn will transition and its tilt will shift, altering our view of the planet as Earth crosses its ring plane.
Saturn’s bands will make a comeback tour after March 2025, before disappearing once again in November 2025. The planet has seven distinct rings comprised of ice, rocky debris and dust.
