Earth may have had a giant ring of space rocks surrounding it, similar to those around Saturn, which could have led to chaotic meteorite strikes on our planet's surface, new research suggests.

Earth may briefly have had a ring system similar to Saturn ’s over 450 million years ago during a period of unusually intense meteorite bombardment, a new study proposes.

Saturn’s rings are iconic, but new evidence suggests Earth might once have sported one of its own. This ring would have caused chaos on the surface.

Once upon a time, Earth may have sported a planetary ring of its very own. The hypothetical ring didn't last long, cosmically speaking – just a few tens of millions of years. But that was long enough to have left a lasting impression on Earth's geological record,

New geological evidence suggests that Earth might once have been encircled by a ring of debris, much like Saturn. This hypothesis, proposed by researchers from Monash University in Australia, was published in the journal Earth & Planetary Science Letters.
