Is Uranus the planet that we discovered had rings only about 20 years ago? And we only found that out because of one of the probes that did a fly-by. Or was that another planet?

If it was Uranus, it's pretty amazing that we can now see the rings from earth...

And which one has the big blue storm? And which one had the meteors hitting it a few years back?

Uranus had the rings. Neptune has the Big Blue Spot. Jupiter got the smackdown from the Levy comet fragments

And which one had the meteors hitting it a few years back? Jupiter was hit by the fragmented comet Shoemaker-Levy a few years back.
