J1407b is an extrasolar planet located about 420 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Centaurus. The planet was discovered in 2012 by the University of Rochester, located in New York. The J1407b ring system has an outer radius of approximately 90 million km (about 640 times the extent of Saturn's rings). The rings begin at a distance of about 30 million kilometres from the planet and stretch out to a distance of 90 million kilometres. And they are probably made of dust, as planet J1407b is too hot - about 1,000 to 2,000 degrees Celsius - to support ice rings like those orbiting Saturn. J1407b itself is estimated to contain 10-40 times the mass of Jupiter – technically, it might even be a brown dwarf. Further observations will be required to observe another transit of J1407b and obtain more data on its rings and other physical characteristics as its orbit is about ten Earth-years long. The rings of this Super Saturn span 180 million kilometers wide. That's larger than the Earth-Sun distance of 150 million kilometers and 200 times bigger than Saturn's rings! Make no mistake, J1407b is the true Lord of the Rings. The star J1407 is relatively bright and can be seen using small telescopes, and so we asked amateur astronomers from around the world to look at the star and take pictures of it. “One obvious explanation is that a satellite formed and carved out this gap,” says Kenworthy. “The mass of the satellite could be between that of Earth and Mars. The satellite would have an orbital period of approximately two years around J1407b. The low-mass companion J1407b has been referred to as a "Saturn on steroids" or "Super Saturn" due to its massive system of circumplanetary rings with a radius of approximately 90 million km (0.6 AU).
