The planet Saturn will be visible in the night sky tonight.
Tonight is the best time of year to view Saturn in the night sky.
The planet is entering ‘opposition’ — when it will be directly in line with Earth and the sun.
At this time, Saturn will appear at its biggest and brightest from Earth’s perspective.
To the naked eye, it will look like a bright yellow star.
Using binoculars or a telescope will reveal its distinctive rings.
It will be one of the last times Saturn’s rings will be visible from Earth for around 30 years.
This is because the planet will be nearly invisible from 2025 due to the planet’s rotation.
