According to NASA's predictions, Saturn's rings will not be visible from Earth in 2025 due to the planet's tilt. However, this will only be temporary.
We all know Saturn, the second largest planet in the solar system, for its iconic rings. These rings can be seen from Earth through telescopes. However, recent announcements reveal that they will soon disappear.
According to NASA, Saturn's rings will not be visible from Earth in 2025. Of course, they won't really disappear. We won't be able to see the rings because of Saturn's inclination.
According to scientists, the rings will not be visible from our planet exactly 18 months from now. Right now, Saturn and Earth are not exactly aligned and the gas giant is tilted at a 9-degree angle. Next year, this will drop to 3.7 degrees, making the rings even harder to see. By 2025, they will drop to zero and will be completely invisible.
But there's no need to worry. Saturn's rings will temporarily disappear. They will then gradually become visible again, reaching their maximum inclination of 27 degrees in 2032, 8 years after they disappeared. This is when we will see the best view of the rings.
Saturn's rings are made up of comets, asteroids and other material. According to NASA data, the rings can extend up to 282 thousand kilometers from the planet. Their vertical length is around 10 meters, which means they are quite small. Finally, it should be noted that the rings were first observed by Galileo Galilei in 1610.
