      Explanation: Saturn is the most distant planet of the Solar System   
      easily visible to the unaided eye. With this extraordinary, long-term   
      astro-imaging project begun in 1993, you can follow the ringed gas   
      giant for one Saturn year as it wanders once around the ecliptic plane,   
      finishing a single orbit around the Sun by 2022. Constructed from   
      individual images made over 29 Earth years, the split panorama is   
      centered along the ecliptic and crossed by the plane of our Milky Way   
      galaxy. Saturn's position in 1993 is at the right side, upper panel in   
      the constellation Capricornus and progresses toward the left. It   
      returns to the spot in Capricornus at left in the lower panel in 2022.   
      The consistent imaging shows Saturn appears slightly brighter during   
      the years 2000-2005 and 2015-2019, periods when its beautiful rings   
      were tilted more face-on to planet Earth.
