"Simulated appearance of Saturn as seen from Earth (at opposition) during an orbit of Saturn, 2001–2029"
What is the meaning of "(at opposition)"?
Who someone adds it?
It is impossible to understand that the word opposition refers to similar to in vein with far side of moon.

Clarification on the creation of the rings. Current part of the rings discussion in this article: "There are two main hypotheses regarding the origin of the rings. One hypothesis is that the rings are remnants of a destroyed moon of Saturn, for which a research team at MIT has proposed the name "Chrysalis" [1]. The second hypothesis is that the rings are left over from the original nebular material from which Saturn was formed."
Suggested edit: There is a debate on the age of the rings. One side supports that they are ancient, and were created simultaneously with Saturn from the original nebular material (around 4.6 billion years ago) [2], or shortly after the LHB (around 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago) [3] [4]. The other side supports that they are much younger, created around 100 million years ago [5]. An MIT research team, supporting the latter theory, proposed that the rings are remnant of a destroyed moon of Saturn, named ″Chrysalis″ [1]. The Space Stout ( talk) 11:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Please add the following hyperlinks:
1) created simultaneously with Saturn from the original nebular material -> created simultaneously with Saturn from the original nebular material
2) LHB -> LHB
