Which planet has the biggest with rings most easily seen orbiting it?
Saturn - it's rings are visible using small telescopes from Earth.
What technology has been used to investigate Saturn?
Ground telescopes and orbital satellite telescopes.
Why telescopes that detect non optical radiation are useful for studying objects in space?
Visible light is a very narrow range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Even audible sound, at the very bottom, is part of this EM spectrum. Radio and other types of 'scopes are designed to 'see' these other ranges, often with surprising results. The space telescope employs more than visible light capabilities, as do many Earth and space-bound telescopes. Looking at Saturn in visible light is quite breath-taking, but in ultra-violet (UV) a remarkable geometric pattern is visible on one of its poles.

When Saturn will visible in the sky?
Saturn will become easily visible early in 2009 for several months.
Who takes pictures of planet Saturn's ring?
People with telescopes and cameras.
How many zoomed telescopes do I need to see Saturn's rings?
100
Which planet has the longest ring system?
In this solar system, Saturn has the most notable ring system. The other gas giant planets have small or partial rings, but these aren't visible from Earth except in the biggest telescopes.
How do you observe Saturn?
suck big balls
Is Saturn visible in the night sky?
