Saturn's Youthful Rings and Newfound Moons Put It in Stargazing Spotlight
Briefly

Saturn is the jewel of the solar system, with its magnificent rings and retinue of weird moons.It's the faintest of the naked-eye planetstechnically Uranus is sometimes bright enough to see, though you need good eyesight and a very dark sitebut still fairly easy to pick out among the stars.If you're an early riser (or a late partier), then now is a decent time to look for Saturn, not because it's brighter or closer to Earth than usual but because it's made some news recently.
