Yep! They go through a phase of being edge-on so become incredibly flat from our perspective. That also means there's a peak where the rings are most visible which will be in 2032.

There's a lot of good books out there with these phases detailed as well as guides for other planets. Highly recommend it for anyone getting into astronomy.
