Astronomers have discovered that the planet Uranus has a blue ring - only the second found in the Solar System.
Apparently Saturn has one as well, but that's far less amusing.

Is it just me, or did that website ACTUALLY SAY that the blue rings are blue because they reflect BLUE light, and the red rings are red because they are made of RED MATERIAL?
Thats not obvious. :rolleyes:

Yes. Basically that's what it said. The color depends on how big the dust particles that make up the ring are.

Yup, the browness will depend on how much residual dust is left.
