Saturn‘s magnificent rings are set to disappear in 2025. But don’t worry, it’s just a temporary vanishing act.
Due to the planet’s tilt, its rings will become edge-on to Earth in 2025, making them too thin to see with even the most powerful telescopes. This phenomenon occurs every 13.7 to 15.7 years, and it’s a unique opportunity to see Saturn in a whole new way.
While the rings will be invisible, Saturn itself will still be visible, and its moons will be easier to see than ever before. So, even if you can’t see the rings, 2025 will still be a great year to stargaze.
The rings will reappear in 2032, and they’ll be back to their full glory. So, if you miss them in 2025, don’t worry, you won’t have to wait too long to see them again.
In the meantime, enjoy the rings while you can!
