five tiny blue-colored rings have been discovered around the planet. they are not as well known as the rings of saturn. the rings were discovered by a team led by edward guinan. at first, they thought that the rings might not be complete. this was proven wrong by "voyager 2". the planetary rings of neptune have a weird "clumpy" arrangement. scientists think that it may be because of the gravitational contact with small moons that orbit near them.
