Saturn Rings in the New Year
NASA Science News
December 12, 2003

Lovely Saturn is going to have a close encounter with Earth this year on
New Year's Eve.

Dec. 12, 2003: When the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31st, heralding the
start of 2004, dash outside and look up. Directly overhead you'll see
a yellow
star outshining the others around it. That star is a planet: Saturn, having its
closest encounter with Earth for the next 29 years.

What are the odds that this will be misinterpreted as meaning this is
the _only_ chance to see Saturn? (As happened with Mars earlier this
year)
But if it's clear, it won't be the first time I've celebrated the New
Year by looking at a planet.
