Satellites of Saturn: Orbital, physical and photometric data.

Saturn is in Pisces, and can be seen in the evening sky from mid-January. It moves into Cetus in late March and into Aries from early April, in which constellation it remains for the rest of the year. It becomes too close to the Sun for observation during the second week of April, reappearing in the morning sky from mid-May. Its westward elongation gradually increases and is at opposition on November 6 when it is visible throughout the night. Its eastward elongation then gradually decreases and for the rest of the year can be seen for more than half the night.
