    J1407b is widely known for the massive size of its rings, which are approximately 640 times the extent of the rings found on Saturn. The planet itself is regarded as the first possible exoplanet, or brown dwarf with a ring system. J1407b orbits its parent star, 1SWASP J140747.93−394542.6 (known simply as V1400 Centauri) in an eccentric (oval) orbit, which could disrupt J1407b's own ring system.
