What the rings would look like from different cities and latitudes across the world.
It's interesting to imagine how it would effect culture throughout time. It would have influenced religion, mythology, navigation, etc..

Way cool. Thanks for posting.
The video mentioned the light reflected by the rings, but didn’t mention the shadows cast - or did I miss it?

We could not have such a ring with our moon I think. The moon’s gravity would pull it apart.
Of course, the moon could have broken up into a ring. That would be interesting.

Nice. Thanks Maceman. Certainly a surreal presentation wasn’t it.

Fascinating...Great video.
I took this shot of Saturn a while back from our back yard observatory when it's rings were more visible from earth...A new camera imagining system this coming summer should provide better for improved planetary imaging.
This was taken with a LX200 Schmidt Cassegrain, using eyepiece projection with LP CLS filters...Canon 40D-ISO 800 1.4 sec exposure...(Series of 10x1.4sec) calibrated, aligned and stacked in DSS.

Rings look awesome. Can we trade in our moon for rings? I thought of having both a moon and rings, but that might be too much bling.

Nice photo. That’s just a little bit better than I get with my 8” reflector.
