Astronomers say they have found the first ringed planet beyond our solar system, a super world with a girdle of halos 200 times bigger than Saturn's. Called J1407b, the giant has a disk of 30-odd rings which is so vast that had it been around Saturn, it would have dominated our night sky. "It'd be huge

Answer (1 of 5): They are pretty circular. Ellipticity means that the ring material moves out and in over the cycle of one orbit. It then collides with other ring material and those collisions tend to damp any out-and-in movement, circularizing the ring. Due to Saturn’s gravity, orbits at differe...

This is Planet J1407b. Its ring system is 200 times larger than Saturn's rings.... What will you name this planet?
