Tonight's a great night to see Saturn's rings

Depending on your location, you could be in for some prime cosmic views

Tonight Saturn will be in opposition, meaning it will be at its closest proximity to Earth. The ringed planet should be visible without a telescope, although astronomers recommend you use one for the best views 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and especially to see the planet's rings.You can also catch a glimpse of some of Saturn's moons, including Titan, its largest (and brightest) if you use a telescope.Saturn will be visible throughout the entire evening, appearing in the southeast around the same time the sun sets. The planet will reach its highest point in the sky around midnight (local time) and will set in the western sky as the sun rises again Wednesday morning.The rings will be tilted toward Earth at a 24-degree angle, making it quite the spectacle for stargazers with the right viewing equipment. The bad news: If you live along the West Coast, in the Midwest or in the Southeast, you might not get a great show, as forecasts are calling for cloudy skies in those areas. But you should have optimal viewing conditions if you're in the interior West, the southern Plains, or the Northeast, according to AccuWeather.
