The Dutch astronomer, mathematician and physicist Christiaan Huygens discovered Saturn's Rings and also founded the Theory of Light.

Christiaan Huygens -
Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch astronomer, mathematician and physicist, who is famous for his inventions of the first accurate pendulum clock, as well as his discovery of Saturn's Rings and its largest moon, Titan. He also founded the theory of light known as "Huygens Construction".

Actually, Galileo observed Saturn's Rings in his telescopic discoveries prior to Huygens' discovery but could not tell what they were. Huygens had a better telescope, however, and was the first to identify them as rings.

The Saturn's ring was first noticed by the great scientist Galileo Galilei but he could see it properly. This happened in the year 1610.

Then in 1655, Christiaan Huygens was the first person to describe them as a disk surrounding Saturn.

Christiaan Huygens believed that light is made up 
 waves vibrating up and down perpendicular to the direction of the light travels, and so he formulated a way of visualizing wave propagation.
