SATURN

Visibility of the Saturn in 1998:

       Saturn is visible in the evening sky in Pisces until late March when it becomes too close to the Sun for observation. From the beginning of May it can be seen in the morning sky, passing into Cetus in the second half of July and returning to Pisces from mid-September where it remains for the rest of the year. It is at opposition on October 23 when it can be seen throughout the night. For the remainder of the year its eastward elongation gradually decreases being visible for the greater part of the night.
