It's a red-letter week for night sky watchers as a full moon and arguably the solar system's most attractive planet will be on full display.

Starting on Tuesday night, Saturn will be opposite the sun in the sky. This means that Earth will be at its closest point of the year to the ringed planet, providing a great opportunity to check out those rings for yourself.
