Calling All Astronomers! Help Us Share the Beauty of Saturn with your Community.
Saturn Observation Campaign

Welcome to the Saturn Observation Campaign. This program gives sky enthusiasts of all abilities the opportunity to share the splendor of Saturn with their local community. Saturn and its majestic rings make an annual trek through the night sky, allowing ground-based observers to enjoy stunning telescopic views of the planet.

Through the Saturn Observation Campaign, we hope to share this spectacular planet with as many people as possible. The campaigns objective is to create opportunities for professional and amateur astronomers to engage the public in the excitement of astronomy, using telescopes and the Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn.

The Saturn Observation Campaign offers a variety of program elements for local community leaders, classroom educators, youth group leaders, and sky enthusiasts.

To participate in a viewing event, or to host a Saturn viewing at your school, youth, or community event, locate the SOC participant closest to your local community.

The application window for 2008 participants is closed until December 2008. Contact a current member for local Cassini presentations. Saturn viewing will resume in late 2008. All current SOC members should have reported three events in the current year to continue in the program.

SOC members: Is your email current on the Members page? If not, let us know.
