Evidence from ancient craters suggests that Earth may have possessed a ring similar to Saturn's, which could have caused significant climate disturbances on the planet's surface.Researchers from Monash University in Australia hypothesize that a rocky ring formed around Earth approximately 466 million years ago, lasting for several tens of millions of years, according to New Atlas on September 16. This conclusion arises from several geological findings. During the Ordovician period, there appears to have been an increase in the number of impact craters on Earth.The research team mapped the locations of 21 known craters from that era, using plate tectonic models to track their positions at the time of impact. All of the craters seem to lie within 30 degrees of the equator, whereas they would typically be randomly distributed across the globe.
