Saturn's moons in August 2026

Mimas · Enceladus · Tethys · Dione · Rhea · Titan · Iapetus

Saturn's moons cross its face and enter its shadow only near a ring-plane crossing, when their orbits are edge-on to us. That's now, after the 2025 equinox. Titan is easy in any telescope; Rhea, Dione and Tethys need a little more aperture. Pick your place to see only what's visible from there.

Where the moons are

Saturn · August 2026

Saturn's equator horizontal, east to the left as in binoculars. Drag through the month or tap an event to jump to it. Full screen (⤢) steps through one night minute by minute. A faded moon is behind the planet; an empty ring is a moon in its shadow. Positions are JPL's, sampled hourly; the rings are drawn at their real tilt.

Reading the list

Times are when the moon's centre crosses the edge of Saturn or its shadow, as in published tables. The whole disc takes a few minutes. A start or end marked unseen happens behind Saturn or inside its shadow. “Only what I can see” keeps events with Saturn more than 10° up in a dark sky. Positions: JPL DE431 and sat441, with Saturn as a flattened globe. The rings are not modelled, so “behind Saturn” means behind the globe. Mutual-event brightness drops are estimates. Each event happens at the same instant everywhere on Earth.
