The rings ofSaturn were discovered in the year of 1610 by a man named Galileo. He was the first to observe the planet though a telescope. At first, because of the tilt of the rings, he thought the planet had "ears". But he was a careful and consistent observer. He soon realized that what he was seeing was a ring . Saturn itself has been observed since ancient times.
