and extended an invitation to all those
interested in the heavens to come UP and
take a look at SatuIn's rings some time

the dark of the moon, or before it's first
quarter. Saturns rings are now more
visible than they will be again for fif-
teen years. There have been nearly
three hundred nebuae and about a doz-
