When I saw the story that contained the link, I thought to myself, Ho hum, more pictures of Saturn. But I clicked on it just for the heck of it and was glad I did--I've never seen any like these before. What always gets me about the rings is the edge-on views. They're so thin and delicate, at least relative to Saturn's bulk. Have you ever seen Saturn through a really good observatory telescope? Ironically, it doesn't look real, it looks like a painting.
