410th Anniversary of Astronomer Galileo Galilei observed Saturn’s Ring
Galileo Galilei was the first to observe Saturn with a telescope in 1610. Because of the crudeness of his telescope, he couldn’t determine what the rings were, he guessed that there were two large moons on either side of Saturn. Two years later when he viewed Saturn again, the “moons” had disappeared, this is because Galileo was viewing the rings edge-on so that they were invisible, but at the time it was very confusing to Galileo. After yet another two years, Galileo viewed Saturn again and found that the “moons” had returned. He concluded that the rings were “arms” of some sort. It wasn’t until almost 50 years after the Galileo first observed Saturn in 1659 that a dutch astronomer named Christiaan Huygens correctly deduced that the “arms” were actually a ring system.
