Hubble Telescope Images: 2003
Rare View of Saturn
This image of Saturn, released Sept. 9, 2003, shows the planet's rings at a maximum tilt of 26 degrees toward Earth. This happens once over the course of its 29.5-year orbit. This means that approximately every 30 years, Earth observers can catch their best glimpse of Saturn's South Pole and the southern side of the planet's rings.
