Solution
The correct option is B Galileo In 1610, the year after Galileo Galilei first turned a telescope to the sky, he became the very first person to observe Saturn's rings,
though he could not see them well enough to discern their true nature.
In 1655, Christiaan Huygens was the first person to describe them as a disk surrounding Saturn.
