Need I say more, this is just spectacular!!! and you can see way more detail than just the usual rings.

Total solar eclipses of the sun are great but this is picturesque and rich in detail.

With a total solar eclipse we get to see the sun's outer layers/atmosphere.

But the backlit rings and the ones we don't usually see are simply stunning! There is even a bright ring as sunlight is bent through saturn's uppermost atmosphere and the spooky misty outermost rings.
