The planet Saturn has been known from ancient times, and it is very hard to say who discovered it. It was named Saturn by the Romans, after their god Saturnus, the god of agriculture. The Greeks called the same planet Cronus, and to this day it retains that name in Greek (Κρόνος). Writings also document that the Babylonians, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Hebrews, Turks, and several other nations observed Saturn. Saturn is often associated with the Italian physicist Galileo, who discovered its rings in 1610.
