Discoverer of Neptune's rings dies aged 73
French astrophysicist Andre Brahic, one of the discoverers of Neptune's rings, died in Paris on Sunday at the age of 73, his publisher Odile Jacob said. Brahic, along with American astronomer William Hubbard, first spotted the rings in 1984, naming them Equality, Fraternity and Liberty. Further, a minor planet numbered 3488 was named 'Brahic' in tribute to his work.
