The Rings of Neptune consist primarily of five principal rings and were first discovered (as "arcs") in 1984
They were eventually imaged in 1989 by the Voyager 2 spacecraft
Neptune possesses five distinct rings named, in order of increasing distance from the planet, Galle, Le Verrier, Lassell, Arago and Adams
Three of the Neptunian rings are narrow, with widths of about 100 km or less;in contrast, the Galle and Lassell rings are broad—their widths are between 2,000 and 5,000 km
