Original Note:
The rings are partially out of view every 13-15 years due to Saturn tilting during a phenomena called Ring Plane Crossing. This happened back in March 2025 but they’ll return to full view in 2032. Saturn won’t lose its rings for another 100 million years est. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-science/saturn-ring-plane-crossing https://www.earth.com/news/saturns-rings-beautiful-iconic-will-disappear-this-weekend-ring-plane-crossing/ https://www.discovermagazine.com/saturns-rings-will-disappear-in-2025-but-for-how-long-46900
