Scott Manley | This Amazing View Of Saturn Is Impossible @scottmanley | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 hours ago
It's a popular trope in Science Fiction, and indeed in scientific visualization, a stunning view of Saturn and its rings viewed while standing on one of Saturn's moons. However, the reality is that only 2 major moons - Mimas and Iapetus - offer anything other than a near perfect edge on view of the rings. And there's good scientific reasons for why this is the case.
