Shadows and reflected light

What's amazing with a world like Saturn is the play between shadow and light!
Saturn's light reflects on the shadowy side of Moons in front of it; the rings reflect light on Saturn's night side; the rings let light through them to light up moons behind Saturn but not yet in its shadow cone.
