Summary
editDescriptionSaturnoppositions (2).jpg |
English: This sequence of simulated views demonstrates the 29.5-year orbital period of Saturn by opposition date, as well as the dramatic changes in the orientation of the planet's ring disk. The ring system revolves around a fixed axis, so both sides of the ring disk are visible from Earth during each period in which Saturn orbits the Sun. (Note: If viewed with a parallel view stereo technique, this set of images provides a pretty plastic 3D effect to the viewer.)
