I was learning to the news on the local college station radio, when they briefly mentioned the discovery of a new ring around Saturn. There was not detail, so I went online and found the following link to a news report:

I was just reading about this, pretty interesting. According to the article the ring is about 2 moons in apparent diameter, so it's about 1 degree of sky. I wonder if it can be imaged by amateur cameras, in the infra-red?

[BBC Today] A colossal new ring has been identified around Saturn.

The dusty hoop lies some 13 million km (eight million miles) from the planet, about 50 times more distant than the other rings and in a different plane.
