Saturn and Neptune in Opposition: A Celestial Show

This week, get ready to see Saturn and Neptune at their brightest!

This is because Earth is passing between them and the Sun, making them fully lit.

Saturn will be closest on September 21st, appearing bright and yellow.

You might be able to see its rings with a telescope.

Neptune will be at its closest on September 23rd.

It is much farther away and will look like a faint blue dot, so you'll need a telescope to see it.

Look for them in the eastern sky after sunset.

Head to a dark place away from city lights to get the best view!
