Saturn Visible from the Earth Next Week, Here's How to Spot the Planet and Its Rings at Night

Saturn is going to be visible in the coming week to the home planet, Earth, and humans would have the chance to view its closest point. Here, sightseers and aspiring astronomers can see Saturn and its rings, something which they can do alone, with friends, or with loved ones under the dark and peaceful night.

It remains an unknown factor as to how the universe was formed, but the Kepler Telescope has recently discovered how a planet forms surrounding a "young star." Particles like ice, hydrogen, dust and other components form and become something that orbits that ball of plasma, eventually, a planet.

Saturn would also be close to Jupiter and that would be the main reference point in spotting the planet with rings. The position of the ringed planet is just west of Jupiter, and users would only need to face that way to see the sixth planet.

Telescope or Naked Eyes?

According to the Farmer's Almanac, Saturn is only visible when using a telescope, and this means that users need to bring out their equipment when they camp out for the night or proceed to a spot.

Also, Saturn may be seen towards the west, and it would be between the constellation of Capricornus — the Sea Goat.
