On Saturn, an equinox means sunset on one side of the rings and sunrise on the other. In this video, we will watch sunset/rise on the rings in close-up. We watch that three times, from three different points of view.
0:00 Prolog.
0:26 The descending node.. The Sun approaches. Zoom in.
1:08 I. Sunset - from above.
1:38 II. Sunset and sunrise - passing through the rings.
2:21 III. Sunrise upside down.
This is an attempt to do the "sunset" part of "A Year on the Rings of Saturn" ([ Ссылка ]) the way I would really like. It isn't possible to do that just using the controls manually, so I wrote a primitive scripting facility to do it. It is an animation rather than a demonstration of what can be done on [ Ссылка ].
