In the Solar System, there is a "Lord of the Rings", too.

Notice the shadow of Saturn falling on the rings.

You have to be outside the orbit of Saturn to see that.

Way cool.

Apparently, December 31st presents a very good opportunity to see Saturn. I am led to understand that a 30x telescope would be sufficient to see its rings.
