And the answer is.....All of the above<br /><br />Saturn's rings have long been known, but the rings of Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune were discovered only recently. Uranus' ring was found in 1977 by measuring light from a star as the planet passed in front of it. The Voyager spacecraft photographed Jupiter's filmy ring in 1979. The remarkable pictures sent back to Earth by Voyager 2 in 1989 confirmed predictions of Neptune's rings.<br /><br />(Total Votes: 8) <br /><br />Neptune <br /> 0 (0%) <br /> <br />Uranus <br /> 1 (12%) <br /> <br />Jupiter <br /> 0 (0%) <br /> <br />All the above <br /> 7 (87%) <br /> <br />Neptune and Uranus, Jupiter doesn't have a ring <br /> 0 (0%) <br /> <br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1" color="#3366ff">www.siriuslookers.org</font> </div>
