A new ring discovered around the planet Saturn is the largest known planetary ring in the solar system, it is in fact so large that if it were visible from the Earth it would appear twice the width of the full moon.
A newly discovered, dark ring around Saturn is the largest known planetary ring in the solar system, a new study says. Until now, that title of largest planetary ring belonged to Saturn's E ring, which orbits Saturn at a distance of about 400,000 miles (640,000 kilometers).
