Closest approach of Saturn in 2026
Celebrate Saturn at its closest approach of 2026 with a special night of telescope viewing at the observatory. During this time, the ringed planet reaches its minimum distance from Earth for the year—about 784 million miles (1.26 billion km) away—making it one of the best opportunities to see it clearly through our telescopes.
