Saturn will be at "opposition" -- its closest approach to Earth. It will be brighter this week 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. Fun fact: Saturn's rings are relatively new. They coalesced around the same time that trees and sharks were making their first appearance on Earth some 400 million years ago.
