JoinScope on the Skies: Saturn, ringed jewel of the night sky
During the next few months, opportunities abound to view four evening planets--Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. For early risers, Venus and Jupiter, will also be visible. Despite the variety, probably no planet can come close to "knocking your socks off" like Saturn. In this month's column, you'll learn all about this spectacular planet, and discover how you can join with observers from around the world in the Saturn Observation Campaign from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
