A short video on what it would look like if the rings around Saturn. Good inspiration for your games.

This was really cool.  Thanks for posting it.  I wonder what colors are realistically possible.

Terledrom has rings that are visible from the ground according to the planetary footnote.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

I am thinking, should it be possible... head boggles... then dear Luna would draw some into her orientations, and you would not get a nice flat ring... but a torus-cloud.
Oh humans!! Innocent We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?".

Is this, "Shiny! Iggy should save his lunch money and buy a copy."  Or is it, "Shiny! Thanks for pointing this out, now I am interested too."
