   Can you see Saturn at night?

   • As night progresses, Saturn will move higher in the sky, though from mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere it will never get particularly high. Since the planet will be about 814 million miles away during its opposition, the rings of Saturn are only visible in a telescope. Any small telescope is perfect for a peek.
