Saturn has another ring, a giant

NASA researchers discover a ring that revolves around Saturn thanks to the Spitzer Space Telescope. It is not any ring, it is much larger than the other rings of Saturn. The particles closest to the planet are about six million kilometers away and the furthest ones about twelve million kilometers away. Thus, to match the ring diameter it would be necessary to place about 300 Saturn together.
Much, therefore, yes, but not very bright. The particles reflect at a high level the infrared light and the Spitzer detectors have detected it.
