What would the rings look like from various places, cities and latitudes around the globe? Really cool video shows what it might look like:

4. Those ecclipse zones look like they be a bitch

5. Awesome. I've heard Saturn's rings aren't stable and that we luckily appeared on the scene
at about the right time to see them
