How to Spot Saturn Near the Crescent Moon This Weekend.

Early risers will have the opportunity to see Saturn shining just above a slim waning crescent moon this weekend. To spot the ringed planet, look just 5 degrees above the moon in the east-southeast horizon about an hour before sunrise on Sunday, April 16. With a telescope, Saturn's rings should be visible. The darker the night sky, the easier it should be to see Saturn with the naked eye.
