Could Saturn be seen without a telescope at night?
Saturn is the last planet that can be seen without using a telescope or binoculars and the planet was known in the ancient world before telescopes were invented. The rings, however, can only be seen using a telescope.
What had to be invented before we could discover Saturn and neptune?
The telescope, which was first built by Hans Lippershey in 1608. Galileo built a telescope in 1609 and discovered Saturn with it in 1610.
What did Galileo observe on Saturn?
Galileo observed Saturn's rings in 1610, but due to the limitations of his telescope, he could not make out their true nature and thought they were two large moons. It wasn't until later observations by astronomers with more advanced telescopes that the true nature of Saturn's rings was understood.
Could you collect rocks from Saturn?
It is currently not possible to collect rocks from Saturn as it is a gas giant without a solid surface. However, some of Saturn's moons like Titan have solid surfaces where robotic missions could potentially collect rocks in the future.
Could someone without a telescope see a comet if it were near the planet Saturn?
No. A comet is not usually very big (20km or so). What gives a comet its brightness is its tail, which is seen when it approaches the sun, and the Earth's orbit. Then the heat from the sun leads to the release of vapor and water from the comet (which is basically a dirty snowball) - basically a vast cloud behind it which can be many thousands of kilometres long, which is what we see. At Saturn's orbit, the comet would simply be a dirty snowball, hard to detect even with a powerful telescope. At the low temperatures (like -180c) it wouldn't be releasing any water vapour; at the same time, it would be very far away (at least 1.3 billion km) and it would not be getting much light shone on it (1/90th as much as when it reaches Earth orbit).

How were scientists able to see that Saturn has an aurora?
You could see Saturn clearly from a telescope . When saturn rotates you can probably see the aurora . But on the other hand Saturn is made of gas so it probably DOES have an aurora :)
Where can someone find saturn aura hybrid?
Saturn's website is one place where someone could find a Saturn Aura Hybrid. Edmund's website is another place where some could find this vehicle online.
Could someone go to Saturn?
Yes, the technology exists for someone to travel to Saturn, but the journey would take many years.

How did ancient India discover 7 planets without a telescope?
Ancient India discovered only 5 planets without a telescope, because they could see the planets with their eyes, just as we can. Those planets are:MercuryVenusMarsJupiterSaturn
Could mars been seen at night without a telescope?
Yes, but ONLY in ideal conditions, so realistically, no.
When could a radio telescope and light telescope be used together?
To make a tv telescope

Has Saturn ever been visited by humans?
No, I believe only probes have been sent out to Saturn. No, at least not directly. We have sent several robotic probes there without humans on-board however. No, because Saturn is a huge ball of swirling gases, you could no even stand on Saturn.
