The scribe of Sidereus Nuncius, Galileo Galilei, was the first to observe rings around the planet Saturn in 1610. However, due to the limited technology available at the time, Galileo could not clearly identify them as rings and described them as "ears." It was later in 1655 when Christiaan Huygens first correctly described and identified the rings of Saturn.
No, Galileo was not able to see the rings of Saturn through his telescope. The resolution of his telescope was not powerful enough to distinguish the rings, so he mistakenly described Saturn as having "ears" or handle-like appendages. It was only later astronomers with more advanced telescopes who were able to see and identify Saturn's rings.
no one knows who discovered it but galileo was first to see the rings
Galileo did not discover Saturn. Saturn was known to people who lived thousands of years before Galileo. Galileo was the first person to see Saturn through a telescope, and the first to observe its rings. He made many of his observations from Venice.
1610- Galileo Galilei was the 1st known person to observe Saturn's rings. 1655- Christiaan Huygens was the 1st known person to see the distinctive disk around the Planet Saturn.
Galileo observed the rings of Saturn in 1610, but his telescope was too crude for him to see that they were rings -- he thus presumed they were large moons. In 1612 he looked at Saturn again, but did not see these "moons" (the rings were edge on, and thus not visible with his telescope) -- which confused him greatly. When Galileo looked again in 1614, he saw these "moons" a second time -- and thus concluded they were some kind of arms.
ANSWER:no.because saturn not that close to earth
No, Saturn can be seen in the sky without any equipment. People have known about it since the stone age. He was the first to observe the rings of Saturn.No Galileo did not discover Saturn.
He saw Saturn
To see Saturn's rings clearly and with some detail, you would need a telescope with an aperture of at least 70mm. A telescope with a magnification of around 50-100x would provide a good view of Saturn and its rings.
Saturn they are clearly visible through a decent telescope. If you want to see some beautiful pictures do a google image search of saturn.
Saturn has dozens of very spectacular rings. It's true that they are pretty thin; we can see that when the rings disappear as we see the rings edge-on. But they are very apparent and visible.
