This ring system is sooooooooo big that you almost can't find the planet.

Newly discovered "Super Saturn" has colossal ring system


"This is the first planetary ring system discovered outside the Solar System, and it's got a diameter roughly 200 times larger than Saturn's."





* This is amazing! How can the planet have enough gravity to hold all this together without the other planets in the system -- and the star itself -- tearing all those rings apart? Shocked
