A fascinating video that not only depicts orbital animations, but also some sly Photoshopping (maybe?) of what the view would be from your back yard:

I wonder if the rings would be too reflective at night (i. e., too bright) for us to sleep comfortably... at least, with how we are currently designed.
I also wonder how those rings would have affected the religious ethos of past cultures, even perhaps our own faith.
Though it is an interesting thought, and definitely an incredible artistic touch to our already picturesque views, some further philosophical musings might reveal why God didn't chose to create such a skyscape.
