Realistically speaking, how could we give Earth a cool ring system like Saturn?
Maybe by slowing destroying the Moon by chipping away small pieces of it using atom bombs?
Deflecting asteroids from the asteroid belt so they come closer to Earth without touching it?

Saturns rings probably the result of two icy moons colliding

> New research provides explanation for the origin of Saturn’s rings and icy moons
> Recent research conducted by NASA and its partners using supercomputer simulations is shedding light on the origins of Saturn’s iconic rings and mysterious icy moons. Scientists believe the rings began forming from a massive impact between two icy moons, all the way back when dinosaurs were still roaming around the surface of Earth.
> The massive amounts of debris from the collision were then caught by Saturn’s gravitational pull and then began wrapping around the planet to produce the rings we all know and love today. What’s more, debris that didn’t get caught in the rings likely went on to form some of Saturn’s icy moons.
> Saturn’s current rings are situated close to the planet within Saturn’s Roche limit, which is the distance from a planetary body within which a second planetary body will disintegrate due to the tidal forces from the first planetary body exceeding the gravitational forces of the second planetary body. When simulating the collision and the formation of the rings, Teodoro et al. discovered that a significant amount of the collision scenarios scattered and distributed the right amount of debris around Saturn and within the Roche limit, which then led to the formation of the rings.

It always looks like a hologram or something to me for some reason.. it is unsettling.
