The first exoplanet discovered to have rings is J-1407B. It may be that ringed planets are rare and unusual, or that the methods used to detect exoplanets is unable to delineate between a planets rings and the backdrop of blackened space. The ring system of J-1407B is so vast that it eclipsed its host star for days, extended for an astonishing 180,246,500 (180 million) kilometers, filling more distance than that which is present between the Earth and the sun. As enormous as these rings are, they...
