Where did Saturn’s rings go
Where did Saturn’s rings go?!
Will Saturn's rings return? Wayne Schlingman, PhD, director of the Arne Slettebak Planetarium at The Ohio State University, preps us for Saturn's equinox.
If you look in the sky and notice Saturn’s rings have disappeared, don’t panic! In 2025, Saturn’s tilt will make it nearly impossible to view the rings from Earth’s perspective. If you’re wondering why this occurs, when Saturn’s iconic rings will return, and how to help a fellow Buckeye visualize the rings’ width, Wayne Schlingman, PhD, is ready to drop some knowledge.
Join the director of the Arne Slettebak Planetarium as he explains this phenomenon and takes us on a journey from the ‘Shoe to space.
