<P> The system around Neptune consists of five principal rings that, at their densest, are comparable to the low - density regions of Saturn's rings . However, they are faint and dusty, much more similar in structure to those of Jupiter . The very dark material that makes up the rings are likely organics processed by radiation, like in the rings of Uranus . 20 to 70 percent of the rings are dust, a relatively high proportion . Hints of the rings were seen for decades prior to their conclusive discovery by Voyager 2 in 1989 . </P> <P> Reports in March 2008 suggested that Saturn's moon Rhea may have its own tenuous ring system, which would make it the only moon known to have a ring system . A later study published in 2010 revealed that imaging of Rhea by the Cassini spacecraft was inconsistent with the predicted properties of the rings, suggesting that some other mechanism is responsible for the magnetic effects that had led to the ring hypothesis . </P> <P> 10199 Chariklo, a centaur, was the first minor planet discovered to have rings . It has two rings, perhaps due to a collision that caused a chain of debris to orbit it . The rings were discovered when astronomers observed Chariklo passing in front of the star UCAC4 248 - 108672 on June 3, 2013 from seven locations in South America . While watching, they saw two dips in the star's apparent brightness just before and after the occultation . Because this event was observed at multiple locations, the conclusion that the dip in brightness was in fact due to rings is unanimously the leading theory . The observations revealed what is likely a 19 - kilometer (12 - mile) - wide ring system that is about 1,000 times closer than the Moon is to Earth . In addition, astronomers suspect there could be a moon orbiting amidst the ring debris . If these rings are the leftovers of a collision as astronomers suspect, this would give fodder to the idea that moons (such as the Moon) form through collisions of smaller bits of material . Chariklo's rings have not been officially named, but the discoverers have nicknamed them Oiapoque and Chuí, after two rivers near the northern and southern ends of Brazil . </P> <P> A second centaur, 2060 Chiron, is also suspected to have a pair of rings . Based on stellar - occultation data that were initially interpreted as resulting from jets associated with Chiron's comet - like activity, the rings are proposed to be 324 (± 10) km in radius . Their changing appearance at different viewing angles can explain the long - term variation in Chiron's brightness over time . </P>
