Saturn's rings will disappear from view of ground-based telescopes in 2025. Here's why. Every 13-15 years, Saturn is angled in a way in which the edge of its thin rings are oriented toward Earth ...

Earth and Saturn’s orbits are very close to the same plane, so even if the rings were more illuminated, all that’s pointing at us is that thin edge. If Saturn’s orbit was circular, this edge ...
