May 23 - Saturn at Opposition. The ringed planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. It will be brighter than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long. This is the best time to view and photograph Saturn and its moons. A medium-sized or larger telescope will allow you to see Saturn’s rings and a few of its brightest moons.

My first semester in college, I took an introductory astronomy course. I’ll never forget the night we got to go up into the observatory and look through the telescope at Saturn. Just blew my mind to be able to see something so far away, rings and all.
