Many of the comments here from the uneducated are obvious. They have never observed through a high quality telescope. This film is a good and accurate video recording of Saturn seen through high quality optics. As an astronomy teacher for years, I recommend that others get to a local astronomy club or science museum to experience a free star party where amateuer astronomers will allow you to observe Saturn and other celestial objects live. Not just a video in Youtube. Mark Seibold, artist PDX OR

The turbulant atmosphere is what causes the wavy seeing in the video.

@Robearwgl it's actually about 750 million miles from us. The reason it's so easy to see Saturn in such clarity is because of its magnificent size. As a gas giant, second only to Jupiter in size, Saturn is a pretty fetching planet. Jupiter is so much easier to see than this because it's closer to us by quite a few million miles and it's freakin' humongous. With my ghetto telescope I can see some decent details of both planets, and the four Galilean moons. Astronomy is awesome.
