And it looks like the ring spokes are making a comeback

Saturn Ring Spokes Appear Again

Pasadena CA (SPX) Jul 27, 2006

This image from the Cassini spacecraft shows a ghostly white streak, called a spoke, in Saturn's B ring. This is the first sighting of a spoke in nearly a year, and the first spoke seen by Cassini on the sunlit side of the rings. It also is the first spoke seen at high phase angle –meaning the angle formed between the Sun, the rings and Cassini.
