Saturn is well known for the beauty of its ring system, discovered by Galileo Galilei, with the help of a telescope, in 1610. But despite Saturn's fame, having rings is not a unique feature of this planet. All the other giants in the solar system – Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus – also have them. Discovered between 1977 and 1989, these rings have remained hidden for so long because they are much smaller and less bright, and therefore invisible from Earth.
