And now, a new study published in the scientific journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters seems to show that Earth itself once had a similar ring. The new study asserts that Earth's ring formed around 466 million years ago and stuck around for around 40 million years before dissipating.

Saturn’s rings are among the most beautiful features on any planet within our galaxy. Recently, a group of Australian scientists found that the Earth may have been surrounded by its own rings millions of years ago.

Earth and Saturn might be a lot more similar than previously thought. In a new study, a team of researchers suggests that 466 million years ago, a ring system made up of asteroid remnants may have surrounded our planet,

Earth may have had rings. At least that's what a new study published this month claims. Here's what we know so far.

A ring could explain a mysterious arrangement of impact craters near the equator and might even have caused an ice age, according to a new study

The ring would have gradually fallen to Earth as meteorites, correlating to a spike of impacts seen in the geological record.

A weird number of craters are located close to the equator, and the odds that this is random are incredibly low, researchers say.

Earth might have had a ring system in the past, similar to those of Saturn. Scientists drew these conclusions based on the analysis of the locations of craters on our planet. Scientists, based on the analysis of asteroid craters,

Scientists have concluded that the Earth may have had a ring system similar to Saturn's based on the analysis of the location of craters on our planet. Scientists claim that over 450 million years ago,

Andy Tomkins and his team at Monash University propose that Earth once had rings lasting ten million years, affecting its climate. Their analysis of asteroid craters from 466 million years ago suggests a debris ring formed from an asteroid's fragmentation,
