Multiple Ring Systems

I recently downloaded Celestia, and am adding extra solar systems and such. Feasibility and realism aside, is it possible to render multiple rings to a single planet, each with a different tilt to its plane?

LOL, no sorry, I wanted to do some of those myself... but sadly no...
And if Chris could overlook how crazy they would look, maybe he'll add in a way to do this

Yeah its possible...but keep in mind the center of gravity when concerning planets...Something I have overlooked in my recent solar system...I figure maybe by some freak occurance there could lie the element of chaos like an egg or longated sausage shaped planet...but there is some uniformity in all things... But I may still think of creating something like that if it were possible... Look at the crazy colors I make my planets... Thats the wonder of illusion, and the variety of imagination...
