Sophie 1,475 September 15, 2024 Share September 15, 2024 I was able to take a picture of Saturn, with a little more of exposure time, I'd be able to get an even sharper image of the planet So next time (please remind me because I'm forgetful sometimes ) I will do an hour of exposure time! About the planet itself, did you know that Saturn rings will disappear for a limited time? because of the planets rotation we'll be not able to see it's rings anymore for a few years! Saturn also is 9 times BIGGER than earth! while the planet itself is a gas giant with no solid core. Researchers also assume that, because of the atmospheric pressure, there's a high chance that it rains diamonds on Saturn! Saturn is also the second largest planet in our solar system with over 80 moons! fun fact: because of Saturns low density, If you would place Saturn on water, it would float 2 2 2 Don't mind me, just waiting for my pancakes.

DubWolf 17,263 October 9, 2024 Share October 9, 2024 And won't reappear until.. wow. 2032. That's a looong time. I was able to see it for the first time I believe almost 2 years ago. Gee it's been that long? I'm lucky I had/have that chance before they aren't visible. Though I have to imagine you'll somewhat be able to see them (barely) as a thin line. Are they the most invisible starting 2025? Or is that when they "set"? Are they already hard to see now? Guess I have to find out lol. 1 Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, supposedly that won't be the case until about 300 million years from now. Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I was confusing, they "disappear" temporarily because of Saturn's rotation, it would look like if they disappeared until Saturn rotates far enough so they get "visible" again. 1 Don't mind me, just waiting for my pancakes.

But they will for a fact, eventually leave Saturn ringless. Well beyond the perceivable future.
