Look at Saturn tonight

Tonight, bundle up and take a walk outside to look at the stars. In the eastern sky, near the constellations of Taurus, Gemini and Orion, you will see a bright yellow object, perhaps the brightest object in that region of the evening sky. It's Saturn, making its closest approach to earth in many years. Best of all, Saturn has tilted on its access to give someone with even a modest telescope a spectacular look at its rings.

Tonight is a great night to look up and explore the universe. And Saturn will put on a show into January. But take a few minutes tonight, for this evening will be the best view of this amazing ringed planet.
