(it has an orbit of about 1 year) So my question is simply, by using astronomical observation would it be possible to c... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
Question	—	Is it possible for a planetary ring to exist beyond a planet's Rochelimit? So my story takes place on a moon orbiting a gas giant about the size of Jupiter and I was wondering if it was at all possible for a planetary ring to exist beyond the planets Roche limit. I get there are some tiny bands of dust that exist beyond the roche limit of planets that could be considered "r... (more)	—	over 7 years ago
