J1407b

J1407b is an extrasolar planet located 433.8 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Centaurus. The planet was discovered in 2012 by the University of Rochester, located in New York.
J1407b is widely known for the massive size of its rings, which are approximately 640 times the extent of the rings found on Saturn. The planet itself is regarded as the first possible exoplanet, or brown dwarf with a ring system. J1407b orbits its parent star, 1SWASP J140747.93−394542.6 (known simply as V1400 Centauri) in an eccentric (oval) orbit, which could disrupt J1407b's own ring system.
