A future spaceship's cupola is the setting for my piece "Girl gazing at Saturn in sepia from orbit"; the different color makes the vista more striking I think.#art #MastoArt #digitalart #digitalpainting #painting #beautifulwoman #beautifulgirl #spaceart #scifiart

@adamasnemesis These rings must be very dim to the human eye.Saturn is far from the Sun, ~9 au.81 times less light.

@houkimenator Hmm...looking it up, an overcast day on Earth or typical TV studio lighting (!) is 1,000 lux, compared to up to 100,000 lux for direct sunlight (so comparable to direct sunlight at Saturn), and our eyes adapt to perceive those dimmer environments as fully lit. We do a pretty good job even under just the full moon, and that's only 0.1 lux, a million times dimmer than direct Earth sunlight! I think the naked eye would perceive Saturn as brightly lit as Earth is.
