The ringed planet Saturn will be at opposition on Sunday, April 28, and it will appear bigger and brighter than it has all year long.  In celebration of this event (weather permitting), Santa Fe College’s Kika Silva Pla Planetarium will have free telescopic viewing sessions of Saturn from 9 p.m. – 10 p.m. on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27.
