Details:
Saturn's equator is tilted relative to its orbit by 27 degrees, very similar to the 23-degree tilt of the Earth. As Saturn moves along its orbit, first one hemisphere, then the other is tilted towards the Sun.(NASA)
The rings will disappear from sight in March 2025. But the conditions will be less favorable for observing the planet. Saturn will appear, from our perspective, very close to the sun in the sky, largely obscured by the light of the star.
All photos were taken with a 4" refractor telescope and all with single shot.
