How the map draws it
Lit as a camera exposed for its own sunlight would show it · seen from far off it is a light at its computed brightness: the glow is how a camera records a point too bright to resolve · its bands are drawn with 1.5 times the contrast its map has, an adjustment of ours; “As Hubble saw it” is not adjusted; on a larger screen and from close, the ringlets and gaps in its rings are where Cassini measured them through the light of a star in 2008, laid over the map, and in the Film look the sparkle of grains closer still is drawn: no ring particle can be seen from here.
