Re: Vanishing Saturn . . .
There's something even better than to see it disappear...It's to see Saturn REAPPEAR!!
Unforgettable moments on november 3rd last year...I was glued at the eyepiece, looking at the area where it was expected but not knowing exactly when it would reappear...and then, suddenly, out it came, out from the shadowy side of the Moon, out from the dark. And it all takes about 40 seconds. Saturn, being a ringed planet, is more special as we first see the rings, then the planet itself..
Worlds are indeed moving fast!
