Having been next to invisible for the past two years, the rings of Saturn are now revealing their northern surface towards the Earth -- but you'll need a telescope to see them. The rings are almost entirely water ice particles, with some contamination from dust and other materials. Although Saturn's rings are estimated to be 185,000 miles wide they are also very thin -- just 30-650 ft thick.
Take a guided tour the of Saturn's return with Pat Hanrahan, an expert in celestial bodies such as planets, stars and galaxies.
