This page shows you the observed images of Saturn in the season of 2020.
The Saturn has been positioned around a boundary between Sagittarius and Capricornus, you can observe the ringed planet, had the opposition on Jul 21, in lower southern skies in summer. Especially the glittering Jupiter positions just west of the Saturn; we can enjoy two unique planets simultaneously in this year. The Saturn's ring has been greatly opened in north, the detailed structures like the Cassini's gap can be observed easily.
