Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn't, what is pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon. The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible by reflected Earthlight, known as Da Vinci glow. The Sun directly illuminates the brightly lit lunar crescent from the bottom, which means that the Sun must be below the horizon and so the image was taken before sunrise. This double take-inducing picture was captured on 2019 December 24, two days before the Moon slid in front of the Sun to create a solar eclipse. In the foreground, lights from small Guatemalan towns are visible behind the huge volcano Pacaya. Credit: Francisco Sojuel #sky #outdoors #nature #science #stars #universe #photography #clouds

That reminds me, that I've read that the Saturn will shift it's axis to a degree, the rings will appear invisible. This event is visible from around September to March, when observing from earth, with conditions for it being observable.

What is this???🧐🧐🧐

So I'm outside this morning and I see this👇🏼 The ring I'm speaking about. Within a few minutes it kept getting bigger and finally expanded into the clouds of the sky where I cannot see it.😲 I have seen small rings around the moon but never this. Maybe I'm just still sleepy just WOW 🤌🏼 (edited)
