Saturn's rings will "disappear" twice in 2025.

Next year, the rings of the planet—sixth in distance from the Sun and the second largest in the solar system after Jupiter—will become invisible to observers on Earth twice.

The reason lies in the tilt of the gas giant: it will rotate in such a way that our planet will be aligned with its rings in a single plane. As a result, they will become invisible even to the most powerful optical telescope on Earth.

According to the words of the scientific director of the Ka-Dar Observatory, Stas Korotkiy, the "disappearance of the rings" is anticipated on March 23 and November 26.
