It's beautiful but I don't understand how the ring images can possibly be real. The rings are made of dust and rocks and boulders, right?

But the pass-though makes it look like a completely uniform haze with no solid stuff floating around. Would they even fly the spacecraft through the rings (for the reason stated above)??

Also at one point in the IMAX part the ring has a very unnatural looking termination that doesn't seem to match the light source. Like a hard-edged "cut" that doesn't seem to have any natural fade to it or matching component on the other side of the planet (you can see it in the image above). What am I missing?
