From edge-to-edge, Saturn's ring system would be too big to fit in the distance between Earth and the moon. But now a new ring system has been found that dwarfs Saturn's enormous structure – and it's the first of its kind to be seen outside our solar system. Astronomers discovered more than 30 rings eclipsing the very young sun-like star J1407, each of them tens of millions of miles in diameter.

There are gaps in the rings, which indicate that exomoons may have formed. Pictured is an artist's impression by www.black-cat-studios.com

Their diameter is more than two hundred times as large as Saturn's rings

If we could replace Saturn's rings with the rings around J1407b, they would be easily visible at night and be many times larger than the full moon
Their conclusions is that the companion is likely to be a giant planet – not yet seen – with a gigantic ring system responsible for the repeated dimming of @placeholder's light.
