The two humps observed by Galileo on Saturn were later understood to be the planet's rings. When Galileo first viewed Saturn through his telescope in the early 17th century, he misinterpreted the rings as additional celestial bodies or "ears" on either side of the planet. It wasn't until the 1650s, with the work of Christiaan Huygens, that the true nature of Saturn's rings was correctly identified. Subsequent observations have confirmed that these rings are composed of ice, rock, and dust particles.
