Karis Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Saturn will rise tonight in about 1 hour. Look due east and you'll see two bright stars. The one to the right is Spica, and the one to the left isn't a star, but the rather spectacular Saturn. With a good pair of binoculars, you'll be able to see the rings. Awesome, eh?

Thanks for that, I shall have a look; still quite clear here at the moment. I'll see what we can manage to see with a pair of 8 x 30 binoculars.

JenC Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks for that Karis. I just went to have a look myself but thought the low haze meant we might not get to see it. I'll take another look in an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_S_83 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This is a really stupid question but if I am in batemoor looking out back towards chesterfield will they be there, or round front looking towards sheffield/norton etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnevereasy Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 If you're in Batemoor you should be looking over towards the Norton water tower - ish. Edit: btw, Venus will be by far the brightest object in the night sky, bar the moon of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there. You need to use the setting sun as a direction pointer. Basically, if you're looking toward Sheffield, you'll see two bright 'stars' - but be quick, they're falling rapidly now and will soon be below the horizon. Go have a look now, that direction is pretty much West... As Venus sets below the horizon, so will Saturn rise in almost exactly the opposite direction.
