There is an observation that spokes appear in Saturns rings origianly from Voyager but now from Cassini. It seems obvious that these are some optical effect and not a physical one. I believe the waves of light are producing this from interference basically or some interaction with the millimeter size particles or more.

If it seems obvious, write a grant proposal, collect the data, and write the paper.
