Spitzer Discovers Saturn’s Largest Ring

7 October 2009

Pasadena CA (SPX) Oct 08, 2009 - NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has discovered an enormous and previously unknown infrared ring around Saturn. "This is one supersized ring," says Anne Verbiscer, an astronomer at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. "If you could see the ring in the night sky, it would span the width of two full Moons."
