July 9, 2019, Saturn, the earth, and the sun will align resulting in a spectacular view of Saturn and several of Saturn's moons including its largest moon, Titan. Titan is 1 1/2 times the size of the earth's moon, and is the largest of Saturn's 62 (that we know of) moons.
When Saturn, the earth, and the sun align, this is called opposition. Saturn, the earth, and the sun will line up in a straight line. Saturn and the sun will be on the outside while the earth will have the middle spot.
At approximately 746 million miles from earth, this will be the closest Saturn will approach the earth in 2019, so make sure you don't miss it! The sun will reflect off Saturn's rings making it extremely bright, so it will be visible all night. It will be most visible in the constellation Sagittarius and it will be in the highest point of the sky around midnight - your local time.
If you don't happen to catch it on July 9th, don't worry. Saturn and some of its moons will still be visible for most of the summer, it just won't be as visible.
