It lies some 400 light-years away from Earth.

Which means we are seeing what was happening when Galileo was doing his thing looking at Saturn. Which also means it may or may not still be there; probably is, but we won't know for another 400 years, by which time it may or may not still be there, but we won't know...

400 years isn’t very long so they rings probably wouldn’t change all that much. UNLESS, the moons form much faster than we currently think they do which is also a possibility.

Its important to note that a very large diffuse ring was discovered around Saturn just a few years ago.

Makes sense to me.

The way things are going, there's a good possibility that none of our future ancestors will be around 400 years from now either.

Be interesting to know if that planet has an Hexagonal formation in the clouds at it’s poles.
