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.

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.

New research proposes that Earth may have once had rings similar to Saturn's. Evidence from 466 million years ago, including meteorite impacts and debris, suggests a massive asteroid disintegration formed a ring around Earth.
