Astronomers have found that Saturn's faint outermost ring is much bigger than thought, spanning an area of nearly 7,000 times larger than Saturn itself.
The ring, called the Phoebe ring, is believed to contain dust and ice particles ejected from Saturn's outer moon ‘Phoebe’.
New images taken from NASA's WISE probe suggest the ring is over 270 times the radius of Saturn.
The Phoebe ring begins about 3.7 million miles away from Saturn and fans out a 'surprisingly' distant 10 million miles, with a vertical expanse of about 1.5 million miles, making it well over 10 times larger than what was previously believed to be Saturn's largest ring.
