If we ever meet any aliens with both FTL ships and a SGL telescope, they are going to have some amazing photos to show us.

Yes! It says the rings would have caused a cooling effect. Vindication that my mad science plan of giving the Earth an artificial ring system to combat climate change is viable!

It also may have had intelligent life around then, too. It might not have.
