Research suggests Earth might have once boasted a spectacular ring similar to Saturn's, formed from an asteroid breakup around 466 million years ago. This event coincides with numerous meteorite impacts primarily around the equator and a subsequent period of significant global cooling.

When we think of planets with rings, Saturn often comes to mind. However, new research suggests that Earth might have had its own ring system in the past. Scientists believe these rings were formed after an asteroid broke apart around 466 million years ago.

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,

And now, a new study published in the scientific journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters seems to show that Earth itself once had a similar ring. The new study asserts that Earth's ring formed around 466 million years ago and stuck around for around 40 million years before dissipating.

I f 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

Scientists have concluded that the Earth may have had a ring system similar to Saturn's based on the analysis of the location of craters on our planet. Scientists claim that over 450 million years ago,
