Saturn and its disappearing rings 

Saturn, the sixth planet from the sun, is known for the beautiful rings around it. The United States’ space agency, NASA has announced that by 2025 the iconic rings around Saturn could not be seen from Earth due to changes in the position of the planet. 

Saturn has seven main rings which can be seen from the Earth with the use of a telescope. A telescope is a tool which helps us to see things that are very far away from us. The rings are mostly made up of millions of small pieces of rock and ice covered with dust. 

As Saturn makes its way around the Sun, it will be tilted in a way that the rings will appear too thin to be seen from Earth. This is not the first time that Saturn’s rings have disappeared. It is an event which takes place every thirteen to fifteen years. The rings can be seen again in 2032 when the planet will rotate and its other side will be visible from the Earth. 

According to NASA, the rings of Saturn will only be around for a few hundred million years, as the ring materials are falling into the planet due to gravity. Before 2025, now is the perfect time for fans of space to look into the beautiful Saturn and its rings.
