Almost 400 years after Galileo spied Saturn's iconic ring system, a University of Maryland astronomer has discovered another gigantic but invisible ring around the planet. More than 14 million miles in diameter, it is by far the largest in the solar system.

Maryland's Douglas P. Hamilton and two University of Virginia astronomers spotted the dark, dusty ring using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, which is orbiting the sun 66 million miles from Earth. They reported their find Wednesday in the journal Nature.

The scale of the new ring is staggering.

Saturn's well-known inner rings of water ice extend 4,300 miles to 50,000 miles from the planet's equator. The bulk of the newly discovered ring of carbon-rich dust orbits Saturn in a band 3.7 million to 7.4 million miles out.

Saturn phase-out catches owners off-guard
...General Motors announced that a deal to sell the Saturn automotive line had collapsed at the last minute and the brand would be phased out after a nearly 20-year run...

Oh, you mean the PLANET Saturn...never mind...
