Saturn at Opposition

Opposition is when a planet is directly opposite the Sun in the sky, making it visible all night as it will illuminated by the Sun.

Last night was Saturn's opposition- Earth was closest with Saturn and directly between the sun and the giant ringed planet. Normally, it is only visible in the early mornings so this is the best time to take photos of it. As if Saturn, arguably the most amazing and wonderful thing to photograph in the solar system,  was intentionally placed there for Earth observers to take pictures. Lucky to those with  telescopes and imaging equipment. For those like me who only have the internet, we always have http://events.slooh.com for these kinds of events.

Here's a picture from slooh.com last night.
