Planetary rings are a natural feature of the larger outer planets like Jupiter and Neptune, but none are as spectacular as Saturn's. However, in March and November 2025, these majestic rings will not be visible to observers on Earth. Fortunately, this rare event is only an optical illusion. It is caused by the orientation of Saturn's thin rings and the planet's tilt relative to Earth. The last time this occurred was in 2009.

                I will miss Saturn's rings because they are a breathtaking and unique feature of the planet that I have always been fascinated by.

                  totes, Saturn is my fave to. The rings def. make it extra spectacular, at least it only happens twice every 13-15 years. I'm so glad we don't live forever, I wouldn't bear knowing Saturn doesn't have rings anymore.
