Saturn keeps drifting closer, one October at a time.
Saturn's yearly opposition keeps arriving a little closer as it heads toward its November 2032 perihelion, and October 2028 is no exception. Rings at their brightest, up all night, no equipment required. Same verdict as every Saturn opposition: any clear dark night this month is the right night.
