Thanks to Cassini observing Saturn's rings when they appeared edge-on relative to the Sun, we now know much more about thickness and 3D shape of Saturn's rings. Go here for more information. And, thanks to Spitzer, it now appears that Saturn's ring extend much further out that previously before (go here for an artist's rendition), as explained here. Wow!
