"The phenomenon occurs after every 14.7 years," R C Kapoor, a scientist at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, said. As the yellowish planet moves round the Sun, its rings, made of countless bodies ranging in size from micrometres to metres, are best seen when the planet reaches opposition when the Saturn rises just as the Sun is setting, he said. Of late, scientists said, the Saturn is tilting and favourably for viewers from the Earth.
