(INDIANAPOLIS) - The month of June will be the last time people will be able to view an astronomical treat through a telescope for about two or three years.
Brian Murphy, director of Butler University's Holcomb Observatory, says Saturn is moving behind the sun and its rings won't be visible again until sometime in 2009.
The position of Saturn, relative to the earth, will tilt so the razor-thin rings will not be visible.
The next time Saturn will look as good as it does now will be in about 15 years.
