Today Saturn will enter into opposition with the Sun.
On September 21, Saturn will line up with the Earth and the Sun. The distance to the planet will be about 1.28 billion kilometers, and its disk will be fully illuminated. Such days are considered the most favorable for observations.
Saturn will be visible from evening until morning. It can be seen with the naked eye as a pale yellow star in the southeast, and through a telescope you can make out the rings and the moon Titan. In the coming days the rings will be particularly bright.
Oppositions of Saturn occur about once every 378 days. The next one is expected in October 2026, reports "Amateur Astronomy in Kirov".
