Earth Might Have Had a Ring 466 Million Years Ago
Impact craters found around the Earth that were made around the same time could be linked to debris falling from a ring, a new study suggests.
Earth May Have Had Rings Like Saturn, Scientists Say
Evidence suggests Earth had a ring system 466 million years ago, causing a surge in meteorite impacts and possibly influencing the planet's climate.
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.
