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.

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."
