Some of space's weirdest exoplanets #6

J1407b is an exoplanet that is 434 light-years away from Earth. It is bigger than Jupiter and Saturn. It has huge rings, 200 times wider than Saturn's. It has a diameter of 120 million kilometres. If the rings of Saturn were replaced with this ring system, we would easily see it on our sky, much bigger than a full moon. It is sometimes called a super saturn.
