  • 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.

  • Awesome what you can do at home with a telescope!

  • Great view of Saturn. Thanks for sharing.

  • back yard telescope my ASS!

  • saturn is my favorete planet

  • @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.

  • that cant be real. that's like a million miles away from us.

  • amazing

  • @cosmiclight You, sir, have won over two thousand intelligence points. I salute a fellow intellect!

  • E-mail please sweendog67 @ verizon. net I have a decent telescope that has no problem seeing Jupiter and her moons a bright Venus and cool star clusters. Where can I find Saturn in the night sky this time of year. I live in Northeast Pa. USA

  • very nice. What kind of telescope are you using?
