How did Jupiter get its rings?
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.

Who discovered staturn's ring?
The rings of Saturn have puzzled astronomers since Galileo Galilei discovered them with his telescope in 1610. Detailed study by the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft in the 1980s only increased the mystery. There are thousands of rings made of up billions of particles of ice and rock. The particles range in size from a grain of sugar to the size of a house. The rings are believe to be pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons that broke up before they reached the planet. Each ring orbits at a different speed around the planet.
