Explanation:
Astronomers using NASA's
Voyager
spacecraft to search for a ring system
around Jupiter discovered these faint rings in 1979.
Unlike Saturn's bright rings
which are composed of chunks of rock and ice,
Jupiter's rings
appear to consist of
fine particles of dust. One possibility is that the dust is produced
by impacts with Jupiter's inner moons. This false color image has
been computer enhanced.
The gas giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all known to have rings. For more information about planetary ring systems see the Planetary Rings Node.
