While documentarian Morgan Spurlock may have ruined Supersized meals for the rest of us, the universe is still holding on to the notion that bigger really is better.
University of Rochester scientists have discovered an exoplanet, which is a planet outside the boundaries of our solar system, with a ring system so enormous it has a radius of 0.6 Astronomical Units, or AU. An AU is the distance between the Earth and the sun, meaning the rings have a radius of 55.8 million miles.
That figure puts the ring system at roughly 200 times the size of Saturn's.
