All right, we'll move into the next section in the sky this week. A couple of items here. On September 21st, the slider will be in Pisces, constellation Pisces, and it will be the brightest. And it's also one of the closest points to Earth. So those of you with small telescopes, the small telescope binoculars would be great for this too. Go ahead and take a look. It's actually what's referred to as an opposition. That means they have the Earth, or the Sun, the Earth, and then Saturn. So Earth is kind of sandwiched in between Saturn and the Moon. So that means Saturn is in opposition to the opposite side of the Earth, in relation to the Sun. And as I said, Pisces, look forward to the constellation Pisces. Binoculars, as I said, is a small telescope. And it actually takes a while for Saturn to get into opposition. And actually into opposition, then retreat from it. So you've got a couple of weeks of good viewing to still see it. So if you want, go take a look. And I think it might be good for you to take a look at that, quickly at springs.
