TL;DR Summary

Tonight, the Super Blue Moon will pass within two degrees of Saturn, providing a perfect opportunity for skywatchers to spot the gas giant planet. The moon and Saturn will share a conjunction, appearing in the constellation of Aquarius. While they will be too widely separated to be viewed together with a telescope, they can be seen together with binoculars. The moon will dominate Saturn in apparent size, but in reality, Saturn is much larger. Its volume is so massive that it would take around 3,800 moons to fill the space it occupies. Skywatchers can use telescopes or binoculars to observe this celestial event.
