According to what was published by DW, the traditional rings that surround the planet will not be able to be seen on the Saturn equinox.

The main feature of Saturn is its rings, however, andThese are going to disappear in 2025. But, although it may seem terrible, we must not lose calm, This will just be an optical illusion.

According to what was published by DW, The traditional rings that surround the planet cannot be seen at the Saturn equinox.

The reason?, mainly due to the brightness of the sun, which will head directly towards the planet’s equator, As a result of this, from the Earth, which has a diameter nine times smaller than Saturn, the rings of this star will not be visible.

But, it is not that the rings go away, but that These will be perfectly aligned with the view from Earth, being impossible to see them as always.

However, This is not the first time that this effect has occurred, since the same thing already happened in September 2009, and the next time this phenomenon is replicated will be in October 2038. On the other hand, in 2032, the rings of Saturn can be seen in all their splendor.

The disappearance of the rings

Yes ok, The disappearance of Saturn’s rings, for now, will only be an optical illusionthese are really going to disappear at some point, although this will happen in hundreds of millions of years.

These rings extend for between 70,000 and 140,000 kilometers, although they are very thin, the vast majority being 100 meters thick.
