Interactions between Earth and the solar system have profoundly shaped the planet’s history, influencing evolution and climate. One striking example is the asteroid impact 66 million years ago ...

Impact craters found around the Earth that were made around the same time could be linked to debris falling from a ring, a new study suggests.

The researchers' idea that Earth once had rings comes from reconstructions of Earth's plate tectonics from the Ordovician period —which ran between 485.4 million years and 443.8 million years ...

And—according to a study recently published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters —during an era known as the Ordovician period, it may have once had rings. Seriously.

Earth may have had a ring made up of a broken asteroid over 400 million years ago, a study finds. The Saturn-like feature could explain a climate shift at the time.

Earth may have had rings. At least that's what a new study published this month claims. Here's what we know so far.

In a discovery that challenges our understanding of Earth's ancient history, researchers have found evidence suggesting that Earth may have had a ring system that formed around 466 million years ...

Saturn’s rings are iconic, but new evidence suggests Earth might once have sported one of its own. This ring would have caused chaos on the surface.

Today, only the largest planets in the solar system have rings, but a new study suggests Earth may have been a ringed planet in the distant past. Scientists studying the geology of the Ordovician ...
