Consult such magazines as Sky & Telescope and Astronomy or your Starry Night Enthusiast™ software to determine whether Saturn is currently visible in the night sky. If so, view Saturn through a small telescope. Make a sketch of what you see. Estimate the angle at which the rings are tilted to your line of sight. Can you see the Cassini division? Can you see any belts or zones in Saturn’s clouds? Do you observe a faint, starlike object near Saturn that might be Titan? What observations could you perform to test whether the starlike object is a Saturnian satellite?
