Using infrared technology, the NASA space telescope Spitzer has discovered a huge ring around Saturn that hadn't been detected before. The newly found ring is so huge it would take 1 billion Earths to fill it, JPL said. Writes BBC science correspondent Jonathan Amos: The scale of the new ring feature is astonishing. Nothing like it has been seen elsewhere in the Solar System. It also may solve a longstanding puzzle involving several of Saturn's moons.
