Saturn
The gas giant seen with the naked eye.
The fifth in my 'Wonders of the Universe' series featuring Saturn. The sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, Saturn has a prominent ring system that consists of nine continuous main rings and three discontinuous arcs, composed mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. Sixty-two known moons orbit the planet, of which fifty-three are officially named.
