Wow, look at Saturn setting unrealistic beauty standards. 😤⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Fine. It has our attention. Saturn is currently in opposition—in other words, directly opposite the Sun in our night sky. It's also near perigee, Saturn's closest approach to Earth.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Normally, this would make for a fantastic skywatching opportunity... if the light of the full Moon didn't get in the way. Fortunately, Saturn may still be visible with a decent telescope.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Look up around midnight local time, wherever you are, and see the ringed planet just west of the rising Moon.⁣⁣ ⁣ In this 2012 natural color mosaic taken by the Cassini spacecraft, we see Saturn and its largest moon Titan.⁣ ⁣⁣ Image Description: The gas giant Saturn, seen here in shades of yellow, yellow-green and light blue with faint swirling clouds, dominates this image taken by the Cassini spacecraft. Its rings are barely visible, bisecting the photo as a straight line at a slightly upward angle, but they cast a large, curved shadow on Saturn's southern hemisphere. Saturn's moon Titan is visible on the left side of this image, in front of both Saturn and its rings.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #Saturn #Stargazing #Astronomy #Planets #Space #NASA
