3. Saturn is best known for it's fabulous ring system, which was discovered in 1610 by the Astronomer Galileo Galilei. This ring system was made when one of Saturn's moons had gotten too close and was torn apart by the strong gravitational forces of Saturn, turning it into little chunks of ice and rock. Due to it's thickness, Astronomers also believe that Asteroids and comets where captured and torn apart as well, giving it's rings a more bigger and thicker look.
