Explore the wonders of the night sky with Atlas Obscura’s Wondersky columnist, Rebecca Boyle. In this article, Boyle shares her personal experiences with stargazing, particularly the awe-inspiring sight of Saturn’s rings. She reflects on her own childhood memories of seeing Saturn for the first time and the profound impact it had on her. Boyle also recounts the joy of sharing that experience with her own daughter years later. With Saturn reaching opposition, the article encourages readers to take advantage of the opportunity to view the planet and its rings. Even with the naked eye, Saturn will appear as a bright, yellowish star in the east-southeast after sunset. For a more detailed view, a small telescope is recommended. The article emphasizes the significance of seeing Saturn’s rings as a reminder of the existence of other worlds and the beauty of our universe. It concludes by encouraging readers to seize the chance to witness this celestial event and create lasting memories of their own, just as Boyle did with her daughter.
