Got 5 minutes? Learn to see Saturn
June, July and August are especially good months for viewing Saturn in 2017. But you can find it this month, too, especially when the moon sweeps past on February 19, 20 and 21.
Tonight … Notice the moon has moved
Did you see the moon and Jupiter last night or this morning? If you did, you'll see the moon has shifted its position tonight with respect to this planet. The reason? The moon's orbit!
