Discovery of the Rings of Uranus

Description

(a) Light from a star is reduced as the rings move in front of it.
(b) With sensitive light detectors, astronomers can detect the
variation in light intensity. Such dimming led to the discovery of
Uranus’s rings. Of course, the star vanishes completely when
Uranus occults it.
