Join us at Al Lisaili desert for a special event as Saturn reaches its closest point to Earth this year, offering a stunning view of its rings and moons. See the planet at its brightest through our telescopes and enjoy a memorable evening under the stars!

During opposition, the sunlight that shines on Saturn is fully reflected back to us, and we can see the whole of its planetary disk. For us here on Earth, that means that Saturn will appear brighter in the sky. Opposition describes an object being opposite the Sun in the sky.
