Saturn

I was up in Portsmouth with friends Saturday night and a gentleman had an enormous telescope set up on the street and was offering the chance to take a peek at Saturn. While it was visible with the naked eye it was obviously tiny, but it was crystal clear through his telescope and I was so sad that we stopped to take a look. Saturn is 870,000,000 miles away….. which for even a non-astronomy nut like myself is pretty mind-boggling.
