Hearing Nothing at the moment
Very cool: A movie, made from pictures from the Cassini, of the rings in motion as the Cassini spacecraft changes its position relative of the planet. If nothing else, this will give you some perspective on just how thin Saturn's ring is, especially relative to the size of the planet and the width of the ring. For another perspective, I'd note NASA's scale for the movie: 48 miles for each pixel on your computer screen. Yeah, that's a pretty big ring, there.
The link above takes you to NASA's gateway page to the movie, with more information about it; if you want to head straight to the movie (it's a 7MB download), it's here.

I feel kind of ripped off that we don' have our own ring. WTF, God?
