Rings of Uranus

The rings of Uranus are a system of rings around the planet Uranus , intermediate in complexity between the more extensive set around Saturn and the simpler systems around Jupiter and Neptune . The rings of Uranus were discovered on March 10, 1977, by James L. Elliot , Edward W. Dunham, and Jessica Mink . William Herschel had also reported observing rings in 1789; modern astronomers are divided on whether he could have seen them, as they are very dark and faint. [1]

Uranus has a faint planetary ring system, composed of dark particulate matter up to ten meters in diameter. [1] It was the second ring system to be discovered in the Solar System, after Saturn's . [2] Thirteen distinct rings are presently known, the brightest being the epsilon ring.
