    NASA discovers largest ring around Saturn  Oct 8, 2009
    "This is one supersized ring," said Anne Verbiscer, an astronomer at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. "If you could see the ring, it would span the width of two full moons' worth of sky, one on either side of Saturn." Verbiscer; Douglas Hamilton of the University of Maryland, College Park; and Michael Skrutskie, of the University of Virginia are authors of a paper about the discovery to be published online Wednesday by the journal Nature.
