Ancient Earth May Have Had a Saturn-like Ring System, New Research Suggests

Recent research suggests Earth may have had a Saturn-like ring system over 400 million years ago, potentially explaining the clustering of meteorite impact craters during the Ordovician Period. This groundbreaking study, led by geologist Andrew Tomkins, explores how a disrupted asteroid could have formed a ring around Earth, influencing both geological events and climate, including a significant global deep freeze. Discover the implications of this ancient ring and its impact on Earth’s evolutionary history.
