What idiot decided to include this scene in the film??!! How can a planet have two ring systems, apparently parallel? Does tha planet have two centers of mass? Two rings systesm must cross each other at some point. This isn't astronomy, nor planetology, nor mathematics. This is simple gravity, which we are exposed to since we are born, for our entire lives!! Unless you want to say that one or both rings systems are made of trillions of tiny spaceships constantly firing their engines to stay in tha gravittationally acrobatic position, which is actually more likly then what is portrayed in the movie! What a hideous scene! It looks like it was put together by a four-year old! Why do people have to invent all these crazy, stupid things about the universe? As Phil Plait once said "The Universe is wonderful enough without having to make up nonsense about it". i'm so pissed ihad to write this rant.--Planetary 08:26, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Another scene at the end of the film shows the rings to be slightly skewed to each other, so they cross somewhere. What bothers me most about this eclipse scene is that the ringed planet is darker than the rest of the sky, as if it were a paper cutout sneaking in under the small planet's atmosphere. If accurately depicted it would surely be the brightest object in the sky at that moment, and never any darker than the background. The rings also appear to be rotating in opposite directions- very unstable to say the least. 69.136.238.165 12:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, it's nauseating really. What is the planet supposed to be casting a shadow from? Is there a uniform dust cloud extending across the whole star system? Whatever. I challenge anyone to produce a credible gravitational model of such a planetary system- and don't use the rinky-dink model in the film as a guide, it will not help much. 69.136.238.165 01:34, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

- I don't think it's even possible to "produce a credible gravitational model" of this. It's movie science. It's like violating the second law of thermodynamics. Impossible. I'll give a cookie to anyone who can do --Planetaryit.--Planetary 03:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

This is more like what we should be seeing... note the rings are brighter. [[1]] --64.212.128.3 12:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

- Exactly, and it's much more visually stunning. But the movie was of course made long before.... Planetary 04:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
