    Hi Cassie,

    When I was in high school, I really liked to look at the planet Saturn through my small telescope. I think the rings are really beautiful. Even though Saturn usually looks sort of yellowish-brown through a small telescope, recent images from the Cassini mission have shown that sometimes the sky on Saturn can be blue.

    You can see pictures of the blue skies on Saturn here
