Beyond the orbit of Neptune, a dwarf planet is found to have a ring

There may be more ringed objects in the outer solar system than anyone knew.

This week, researchers revealed that the egg-shaped dwarf planet Haumea - one of four known diminutive planets that circle the sun from beyond the orbit of Neptune - is surrounded by a ring of material roughly 43 miles in width.

Although rings are well known around Saturn (obviously) as well as Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus, the new discovery represents the third time in just the last few years that scientists have found a ring around a solar system object
