Aren’t there pictures which show some of the rings around Saturn interweaving with each other like serpents?

The Voyager flyby spotted a twisted ring as well as some other unexpected oddities in the Saturnian system. I believe you’re right though — there was an APOD with a more recent pic of this. Try the archive link in the ping message.

“...how the ancient Assyrians regarded the planet Saturn as a god surrounded by a ring of serpents?”
Perhaps they had really active imaginations?

Astronomy Domine
Lime and limpid green
A second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn
Oberon
Miranda
and Titania
Neptune Titan
Stars can frighten
Blinding signs flap flicker flicker flicker
Blam
Pow
POW
Stairway scare Dan Dare,who's there?

What’s this PC BS about Kilometers? We’re not British. Try converting kilometers to miles. It makes more sense to use miles for long distances. You know that you can drive a mile a minute (i.e. 5,000+ ft). How many kilometers can you travel in a minute, and who cares?
THe speed of light is in miles per year, not kilometers.
