Virtual Telescope Viewing: the Return of Saturn

Stay up with Chabot Astronomers on a Journey to the sixth planet from the Sun, Saturn, also known as the “Jewel of the Solar System”!

Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system, after Jupiter. Saturn is a “gas giant” composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, and is best known for the bright, beautiful rings that circle its equator. The rings are made up of countless particles of ice and rock that each orbit Saturn independently!

Join Chabot Astronomers on Thursday evening, August 18, for “The Return of Saturn,” an hour long virtual telescope viewing and tour of our neighbor.
Explore other exciting space objects, such as the Ring Nebula and the great globular cluster in Hercules.

Weather permitting.
