The Rings of Saturn
Saturn's spectacular system of bright rings has been a subject of study and wonder since Galileo first turned his telescope on the planet in 1610. To Galileo, the blurry image from his small telescope was confusing. Saturn appeared to him to have "ear-like" appendages, which he thought might be large moons. Larger telescopes eventually revealed the truth: an incredible system of rings.
