  • Hey Dave!

    Would it be feasible for you to produce a list like this for Saturnian moons around the time of opposition?

  • Events such as shadow transits and eclipses are only visible during the period when the rings of Saturn are edge-on with respect to the Earth, which happens every 15 years.  The last such occurrence was in 2009-2010.
