Explanation

Galileo Galilei discovered Saturn's rings in 1610 using his telescope. He was the first to observe them, though he couldn't clearly distinguish their ring-like structure and described them as 'handles' or companions on either side of the planet. The true nature of the rings was later understood by Christian Huygens.
