    Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun in our solar system. This huge, icy planet is covered with clouds and is encircled by a belt of 11 rings and 22 known moons. Uranus' blue color is caused by the methane (CH4) in its atmosphere; this molecule absorbs red light.
    http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/planets/uranus/
    Uranus has 11 rings.
    *edit*
    "The improvements to the adaptive optics systems allowed us to capture unbelievably crisp images of Uranus; it was as if the Keck telescope was orbiting in space," said van Dam.

    On Aug. 14, the Hubble Space Telescope also imaged the planet very near the moment when the rings were perfectly aligned with Earth, showing similar features but also including some recently-discovered outer rings. The image was released today by the Space Telescope Science Institute.http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2007/08/23_ringcrossing.shtml
    A second set of two rings has been discovered at roughly 100,000 km radius.
    http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/uranringfact.html
    As of 2008 the Uranian ring system is known to consist of 13 distinct rings. In the order of increasing distance from the planet they are: 1986U2R/ζ, 6, 5, 4, α, β, η, γ, δ, λ, ε, ν and μ rings. Their radii range from about 38,000 km for the 1986U2R/ζ ring to about 98,000 km for the μ ring. Additional faint dust bands and incomplete arcs may exist between the main rings. The rings are extremely dark—the bond albedo of the rings' particles does not exceed 2%. They are likely composed of water ice with the addition of some dark radiation-processed organics.

    To date, there are 13 known rings around Uranus, but, there may be more, as some of them are hard to detect.
