The video introduces V14 OO Centauri, a celestial body with a ring system larger than Saturn's. Discovered in 2012, it is known as Super Saturn due to its massive circumplanetary rings. The rings have a radius of 90 million kilometers, making them 200 times larger than Saturn's. The object orbits its sun in about 3725 days and is located in the constellation of Centaurus, 434 light years from Earth. Its nature as a gas giant or brown dwarf remains uncertain. A gap in its rings suggests the presence of an exo moon. It is also known as 1SWASP J1407b.
