OPPOSITION: SATURN

Saturn occasionally moves into opposition. When this happens, the planet is in the opposite direction to the Sun, which makes Saturn appear brighter in the night sky. Hubble captured this image in 2020 when Saturn was close to opposition. Saturn's two icy moons can also be seen in the image: Mimas on the right and Enceladus below.

OPPOSITION: SATURN

Image description:

This image shows Saturn tilted slightly downwards and gives a view of its rings. The planet has atmospheric bands that vary in different shades of brown and cream. The rings are white and grey, with a large black gap between the inner and outer rings. The two small white dots below and to the right of Saturn are satellites.
