Scientific paper

One of the most interesting periods for Saturn observers is around the time when the rings appear edge-on. The last time this occurred was in 1995/1996. Since then, the south pole of the planet and the south face of the rings have been tilted towards the Earth. Over recent apparitions, the apparent tilt of the rings has been decreasing towards the next edge-on phase, which occurs during 2009. Once again, the time running up to this edge-on phase and for some time afterwards promises to be yet another fascinating opportunity for amateur observers.
