>>10415356Saturn is special because rings that broad & dense don't last, and are uncommon in the cosmic demographic. They're more of an event than an object, fleeting and beautiful as rare weather. Mythologically, it also represents harvest, especially in the sense of lying down to pleasant dreams. See William Cullen Bryant's "Thanatopsis". Hear the closing minutes of Holst's take on it. I can't wait till cameras much better than Cassini's are sent, and the next best thing to being there, comes here.
