Summary
| Description |
English: This is an animation of the 28 images of Saturn shown in
Saturnoppositions.jpg (simulated views using a computer program written by Tom Ruen). This animation demonstrates the 29.5-year
orbital period of
Saturn by
opposition date, as well as the dramatic changes in the orientation of the planet's ring disk. The ring system revolves around a fixed axis, so both sides of the ring disk are visible from Earth during each period in which Saturn orbits the Sun. (See source file for more info and references.) |
