Reminder: Saturn at Peak Brightness Tonight
If you haven't bothered to take a look at the ringed planet yet, tonight it will be at it's most obvious, thanks to it's closest approach to earth. Quick finder map below along with a few objects discussed in the Wednesday astronomy threads.

Keep an eye out for Titan, Saturn's largest moon, which should appear in large binoculars or a small telescope. Saturn is far too bright an object to be ruined by light pollution, so regardless where you live, take some time out this evening to spot it. Clear skies and keep looking up!
