The presence of a ring around Earth would have had unique climatic effects, particularly by casting shadows over large portions of the equatorial region, ...

A recent study claims that Earth may have once had a ring system. This theory sheds light on the presence of an unusual density of impact craters around the equator dating back to the ...

Can you drink Saturn’s rings? Saturn’s rings were likely first seen by Galileo in 1610. The speed at which an object orbits a ...

The presence of a ring would have also shielded part of the Earth from the sun—in turn lowering surface temperatures dramatically—which could explain the timing of the Hirnantian Ice Age.

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 ...

The research, published in one of the most famous scientific journals, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, reveals the details that suggest the presence of rings millions of years ago.

Scientists used models of how Earth's tectonic plates have moved over that time to pinpoint where those impacts initially took place and found that all 21 impacts occurred close to the equator.

The white rings denote equatorial distance of 4 and 6 Earth radii. High-resolution image of the million-degree hot plasma halo encircling Earth captured by NASA’s JENI instrument.

Saturn's rings will disappear from view of ground-based telescopes in 2025. Here's why. Every 13-15 years, Saturn is angled in a way in which the edge of its thin rings are oriented toward Earth ...

A recent study claims that Earth may have once had a ring. The theory would explain the presence of an odd density of impact craters around the equator dating back to the Ordovician period.
