It's longish, and cosmically sad, but so worth it. Do read.

Uno degli ufficiali chiese: "Ma questi garibaldini che vengono a fare realmente in Sicilia?". "Vengono a insegnarci le buone creanze – risposi in inglese – ma non ci riusciranno, perché noi siamo dèi". Risero, ma non credo che capissero. #IlGattopardo

This is a view looking down on a portion of Saturn's rings.
Find the white structures along the edge of the ring, near the top.
Now look at their shadows, cast on the rings themselves just below them.
Those white structures are giant towers of icy ring particles, some rising more than 2 km.
