Yes, you can, mostly during the summer solstace. It looks like a star in the sky, but it doesn't twinkle. The same is true for other planets, such as Venus and Jupiter.

Saturn is the most distant of the five planets easily visible to the naked eye, the other four being Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter (Uranus and occasionally 4 Vesta are visible to the naked eye in very dark skies), and was the last planet known to early astronomers until Uranus was discovered in 1781. Saturn appears to the naked eye in the night sky as a bright, yellowish point of light whose magnitude is usually between +1 and 0 and takes approximately 29½ years to make a complete circuit of the ecliptic against the background constellations of the zodiac.

Saturn will be in excellent position for observation until at least early July. It reached opposition to the Sun on March 21st, when it was closest to Earth and at its largest and brightest. Although Saturn is now slowly receding from our home planet, it remains visible well after midnight and looks stunning through a telescope.

Look for Saturn high in the southwest after sunset, in western Virgo, just a couple of degrees below Denebola, the second brightest star in the constellation Leo the Lion. In a telescope Saturn's disk spans 18" across the equator and the rings appear very narrow. They are currently tipped just 1.7° to our line of sight, but they will double their tilt during the next two months.

Saturn is often one of the brightest things in the night sky. If you know where to

look and when to look, you can easily see it with just your eyes. With a telescope,

you can see more details.
