Do they? I tried a density_map composed of six entries, which in turn 
are color_maps, and got this:

"Expected ']', colour map identifier found instead"

How do I have to define the six color maps to avoid such errors?

See you in Khyberspace!

You don't need to put the light_source "very very far", you just need to 
use a parallel light_source and place it much closer, but outside the 
rings/satellites system.

Don't forget that Saturn is not solid, but a gas giant. You can simulate 
that using SSLT in the beta version or very dense scattering media with 
NO emissive media.
