How to See Saturn's Rings in Colorado Tonight

SATURN

If you like space stuff, it doesn't get much cooler than this!

Beginning Tuesday, Saturn will be at opposition, meaning it will rise opposite the sun in the Earth’s sky.

Opposition gives humans the best views of the gas giant and a number of its moons,according to NASA.

The planet will be visible to the naked eye, but a telescope will be needed to spot the iconic rings, according to EarthSky.org.

Saturn will be visible in the southeast sky Tuesday, according to EarthSky, and can be spotted in the “teapot” of the Sagittarius constellation.

It will appear highest in the sky about midnight but will be visible all night, setting in the west as the sun begins to rise in the east.
