Description

Hi,

Monday Milky Way accompanied by Saturn and Jupiter! Saturn a few hours after the opposition. The planet known as the Lord of the Rings will be directly opposite the Sun in Earth's sky. This means the best conditions for its observation in the year. During the opposition, Saturn rises exactly at sunset and stays with us until the sun rises. The planet in the constellation Capricorn will still tower at a relatively low altitude of about 19 °. Its brightness will be 0.2 mag. which is comparable to the brightest stars in the night sky. Near Saturn, a little more to the east, there will be a clearly brighter Jupiter. The largest planet in the solar system will be in opposition on August 19, but now at magnitude -2.5. it is the brightest object in the sky most of the night. It can be a good signpost for you in your search for Saturn 🙂
