Saturn Returns to the Evening (overnight) 

On the nights around Wednesday, July 9, the ringed planet Saturn will finally
begin to rise before midnight for observers located at mid-northern latitudes
- making Saturn available for evening viewing again after a long absence.
During the wee hours, the bright, creamy-yellow planet will climb the
southeastern sky below the Great Square of Pegasus. Due to Earth's motion
around the sun, the stars and distant planets rise about 4 minutes earlier
each day - or about half an hour earlier with each passing week. Saturn will
be returning just a few weeks before the red dot of Mars disappears into the
western twilight. Then Saturn will reign until Jupiter enters the evening sky
around mid-October.
