Mars is known as the Red Planet while Saturn is known for its rings. A new study from the SETI Institute & Purdue University infers Mars might have had its own planetary rings. Researchers say a cycle of moons might have formed, broken frequently over Mars during the course of billions of years. The new study suggests that a newly formed moon will move away from the red planet and ring in a manner that produced 2-degree tilt.
