The night of August 2 was especially successful for astronomy lovers: Saturn approached the Earth at the smallest distance – it could be seen with the naked eye.
Astrophotographers took clearer pictures with telescopes and have already shared them on social networks. They also show the largest moon of Saturn – Titan.
Users share photos in which the gas giant planet looks like a painted one.
Someone even managed to shoot a video: because of the radiance, Saturn could be confused with a star, but rings give it away.
From August 19 to August 20, Jupiter will also enter into confrontation with the Earth – he will appear to the right of Saturn.
