Saturn: Lord of the Rings

Please Note: due to Daylight Savings Time, this lecture will be held inside the Visitor Center, with the chance for outdoor telescope viewing following immediately after.

Saturn is often regarded as the most stunning planet of our solar system, and now that it’s near its closest to us, it’s even more spectacular! Join us for a close-up look at this remarkable world, its rings and its family of moons, and discover what we’re learning from spacecraft orbiting nearby.
