On the night of May 10th, Saturn will be at its closest point to Earth for 2014 and the best it has appeared since 2007. Slooh will broadcast the event live from telescopes located off the west coast of Africa in the Canary Islands on May 10th starting at 6:30 PM PDT / 9:30 PM EDT / 01:30 UTC (5/11) - International Times.
This event will occur as the faster-moving Earth glides directly between slow-moving Saturn and the Sun. As a result, Saturn will be nearer to our planet than anytime in 2014. It will look at its biggest, show maximum detail through telescopes, and become brightest in the sky at magnitude +0.1. Slooh will use its Canary Island telescope to observe the giant ringed world, and "throw open" its doors for live viewing of this stunning planet.
