A weird number of craters are located close to the equator, and the odds that this is random are incredibly low, researchers ...

Uranus and Neptune also have rings. 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.

But Earth itself would have been a lot gaudier—decorated with a ring system similar to the ones that circle Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. That’s the conclusion of a new study in Earth ...

Saturn’s rings are iconic, but new evidence suggests Earth might once have sported one of its own. This ring would have caused chaos on the surface. We know Earth has gone through a lot of ...

researchers have found evidence suggesting that Earth may have had a ring system that formed around 466 million years ago, at the beginning of a period of unusually intense meteorite bombardment ...

Once upon a time, Earth may have sported a planetary ring of its very own. The hypothetical ring didn't last long, cosmically speaking – just a few tens of millions of years. But that was long enough ...

Scientists believe the answer is yes! In a groundbreaking study, researchers in Australia are proposing that Earth may have once sported its own spectacular ring system. This provocative idea, ...
