Not brightest planet – Saturn rises by 9.30 pm tonight, it is the second largest planet in the Solar System behind Jupiter and mostly amateur astronomer’s favourite because of it’s beautiful Ring System.
The Ring System is still close to edge on – only 5 degree tilt angle at the beginning of this month and so you will see them appearing very thin. (the reason why Saturn is not a bright at the moment as it when the Rings are shown more open, then it will becomes more brighter in the sky.
See the SkyMap.
