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 surrounded our planet,
Study: Earth had planetary rings like Saturn 466 million years ago
Scientists have proposed a fascinating new idea: Earth may have once possessed a ring system, akin to that of Saturn. These rings could have formed around 466 million years ago, during a tumultuous era marked by intense meteorite bombardment known as the Ordovician impact spike.

Earth May Have Once Had a Saturn-Like Ring, New Study Says
The new study asserts that Earth's ring formed around 466 million years ago, and stuck around for around 40 million years before dissipating. Researchers say that the existence of such a ring would help solve several puzzles from Earth's past and that much of the data they collected supports its existence.
Did Earth Once Have a Ring Like Saturn? Geologists Find Evidence for a Halo of Orbiting Space Rocks 466 Million Years Ago
A ring could explain a mysterious arrangement of impact craters near the equator and might even have caused an ice age, according to a new study
Earth May Have Had Rings Like Saturn 466 Million Years Ago
"Over millions of years, material from this ring gradually fell to Earth, creating the spike in meteorite impacts," said researcher Andy Tomkins.

Earth may have had rings. At least that's what a new study published this month claims. Here's what we know so far.
Earth May Have Had a Ring Like Saturn Once
If astronomers had been walking the Earth 466 million years ago, they may have had something special to see. The moon and the planets and the stars and the sun would have looked pretty much the same as they do today.
