It's thought that Jupiter's rings, similar to Saturn's, are the result of rocky debris in orbit around the planet that collides both with other debris and with some of Jupiter's 67 or more moons.

Jupiter's rings are much less prominent than Saturn's, and were only discovered in 1979 by the Voyager I space probe.
