Hi guys,
Boy the year's flying. I'm curious whether anyone has observed Saturn since the Sun ring plane crossing only a few days ago? If not we don't have much of a window.
Here's an extract from the yearbook
On the 10th the Sun passes through the ring plane rendering the rings invisible from Earth until after our ring passage next month (4th). If you wish to observe this rare event don’t delay. On the 10th Saturn isn’t setting until 2.5 hours after sunset – at month’s end this is down to 70 minutes.
Regards
Glenn
