Looking For Saturn's Lost Ring

Posted by timothy on from the warm-up-your-telescope dept.

An Onimous Cow Herd writes: "For the first time in 30 years, an occultation of Saturn will occur on Feb 20th (N.America/ W.Africa only). The occultation will allow observers to confirm the existance of Saturns fabled lost ring (Schaer's Ring), first detected (but not confirmed) in 1908.
This link gives more information and advice on finding the ring."

    If I hold a satanic black mass, will that mean I'll be able to find my girlfriend's lost ring ?

    They should make a home occultation device for us absent-minded folks. ("well lookie here, my old PDP-11 I had inadvertently misplaced!" )
