Saturn Images from 2011 to 2023 showing the changing tilt over this time

From 2011 to 2017 the ring faces have been opening up and in 2018 to 2023 they begin to close up again as Saturn commences to tilt back in the opposite direction.

Since 2011 we have kept a record of the changes in Saturn’s ring tilt. (Actually, the entire planet & rings are varying their tilt/appearance as viewed from Earth!)

2011 represented the first year we felt that the images were of sufficient resolution to warrant keeping records; it should also be noted that some of the images chosen were near opposition when the “Seeliger Effect” caused the rings to look brighter than in other images…the degree of “openness” also influencing their brightness.

This year’s image (2023, the last/bottom image above) shows that the ring-tilt is fairly similar to what it was back in 2011. (the 1st at the top)
