Mega-Planetary Rings

[stevebowers.]

J1407b is 420 light years from Sol in the Scorpio/Centaurus OB association, - quite close on a galactic scale, and might be one of the early targets during the Later Federation/Age of Expansion. But this is almost certainly not the only example of its type.

Perhaps we should create a name for planets with such very large rings.

I did put a mega-ring system around Fomalhaut b in this image, but only because all the space illustrators were doing the same thing.
