Albert, about the display of Saturn in Guide: its display is
wrong in one major respect: the shadow cast on the rings (and
on other objects) is computed as if Saturn were round. You can
see this most effectively if you set your "home planet" to be the
sun, then zoom in on Saturn. You'll see a bit of shadow cast on
the far side of the rings, even though as seen from the sun,
nothing ought to have shadows.
