Saturn at Opposition
Today, Saturn lies opposite to the Sun. This is the best moment to observe Saturn and Saturn can be seen in the constellation Sagittarius. Not only is Saturn the entire night visible it appears as its brightest and largest. This optimal positioning occurs when Saturn is almost directly opposite the Sun in the sky. At around the same time that Saturn passes opposition, it also makes its closest approach to the Earth.
