Satellite Shadows on rings

Post #1by Dollan » 26.10.2004, 17:24

Hi folks...

Can moons cast shadows on rings, or vice versa? It's hard for me to tell since my video card doesn't allow for ring shadows on the planets.

Just curious...

Moons and rings don't cast shadows on each other right now. This may change in the future however.
