Earth once wore a Saturn-like ring, study of ancient craters suggests
The ring could be responsible for a prolonged drop in temperatures millions of years ago. Earth may have had a giant ring of space rocks surrounding it, similar to those around Saturn, which could have led to chaotic meteorite strikes on our planet's surface, new research suggests.

Saturn-like ring may have once encircled Earth, study finds
Led by Monash University’s School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, the study was published Tuesday in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters . The scientists behind the study believe the rings may have been created by intense meteoric bombardment of Earth,
Planet Earth may have once had a Saturn-like ring say scientists
Saturn is a planet widely recognisable for its iconic rings but a new study suggests Earth may also have had a similar ring system over 50 million years ago. As part of the research, 21 asteroid craters from 466 million years ago - otherwise known as the “Ordovician impact spike” - were analysed and these all just so happened to be located in an
