SUPER SATURN | Artist Ron Miller creates an artist’s conception of the newly discovered “Super Saturn”, whose four known rings extend for tens of millions of kilometres from the central object, the young, sun-like star 1SWASP J140747.93-394542.6. Without knowing the mass of the central body, we can’t know what central object the ring orbits, but Miller opted for a gas planet. Click to make giant.
