Summary

Old drawing of Saturn by <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Robert_Hooke" title="Category:Robert Hooke">Robert Hooke</a>. R indicates Saturn's globe, the two letters a indicate the expected overlap of the globe on the rings. Hooke's shading on the rings to the right of the right-hand a only (i.e. not at the left-hand a), indicates the shadow of the globe on the rings.

The two letters b indicate the expected overlap of the rings on the globe. Hooke's shading on the globe between the right-hand and left-hand bs could indicate the shadow of the rings on the globe, or the faint C-ring faintly blocking part of the globe.

The abbreviations marked around Saturn indicate directions: Sep. for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septentrional" class="extiw" title="en:Septentrional">Septentrional</a> or northern; Mer. for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zonal_and_meridional" class="extiw" title="en:Zonal and meridional">Meridional</a>; Occ. for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occidental" class="extiw" title="en:Occidental">Occidental</a> or western; and Ori. for Oriental or eastern.
