Sprinkle a little cosmic linking dust, and voila:

Looks like a giant walnut. Interesting that the dark areas are on the sunlight fringe. Must be some volatiles acting up.

There were closeups of that odd equatorial ring at wired.com but I couldn’t post the article due to copyright complaint.

Thanks! I hadn’t seen that. Clarke’s comments were interesting. The Saturian system has proven far more fascinating than anyone imagined, and he has quite an imagination...
