Astronomers observe rings forming around icy body Chiron between Saturn and Uranus; revealing how cosmic ring systems evolve

Astronomers have found a developing ring system around Chiron, an icy body between Saturn and Uranus. This discovery provides a rare look at how rings form around smaller celestial objects. Scientists observed four distinct rings and diffuse material. They noted changes over time, suggesting the rings are evolving. The findings help understand cosmic processes and planetary formation.
