RARE TRANSIT OF #TITAN: This doesn't happen very often. On July 16th, Philip Smith of Manorville, New York, watched a rare transit of Titan across the disk of #Saturn:

"The time was 4:38 am EST," says Smith. "It was very hot and uncomfortably muggy with some light clouds at times in the path of Saturn. I was not going to let that stop me from viewing this unusual event!"

Titan transits are rare because they can only be seen when Earth is crossing Saturn's ring plane. This happens approximately once every 15 years. The latest ring crossing is beginning now and will continue into 2025
