Saturn's rings will seemingly disappear from view in 2025, a phenomenon caused by the planet's rotation on an axis.
Saturn won't actually lose its rings in 2025, but they will go edge-on, meaning they will be essentially invisible to earthlings, NASA confirmed to CBS News.The rings will only be slightly visible in the months before and after they go edge-on, Amy Simon, senior scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a statement to CBS News. Those who want to see what Saturn looks like on various dates can use the PDS rings node, she said.
'Since that discovery, scientists have studied the rings and NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission determined the rings likely formed about 100 million years ago â which is relatively new for space, Peroomian said. Even small telescopes can give stargazers a view of Saturn's rings when they aren't edge-on, he said. 'The students in my astronomy class at USC observed Saturn through a telescope just last week, and the rings were clearly visible.
