The delicate, massive dust ring is the largest in our solar system, as reported by Anne J. Verbiscer from the University of Virginia and her colleagues in the British journal "Nature" (online in advance). Look at it yourself and get a optical telescope for sale to watch Saturn.
Astronomers have discovered the thin ring with the giant space telescope Spitzer. He has a diameter of 26 million miles more than 20 times as large as the largest previously known planetary rings, which are Jupiter and Saturn. Had he seen from Earth, it would appear twice as large as the full moon.

Puzzle could be solved
