Tonight, Saturn is in opposition, located on the same side of the Sun as Earth. It will rise at sunset and be on display all night, its face fully lit by the Sun.

For those with access to a telescope, this is what Saturn and its rings will look like tonight.

Perhaps, you can spot the edges of the Decagon over the South Pole, as Saturn performs a full rotation every 10 hours and 33 minutes.
