Cardsmiths Space – Galactic Edition – Saturn #66 – Emerald 05/99

Description:
Saturn, the jewel of the solar system, has captivated humanity since ancient times with its striking brightness. Galileo was the first to observe it through a telescope in 1610, noting mysterious “arms.” Later, in 1659, Christiaan Huygens, using better optics, correctly identified them as Saturn’s iconic rings. These magnificent rings, composed of ice and rock, remain one of the most awe-inspiring sights in astronomy.

Quote (Back of Card):
“Humanity has glimpsed at bright Saturn since prehistory. Galileo in 1610 was the first to see it through a telescope. He found what he called ‘arms.’ Astronomer Christiaan Huygens, using better optics in 1659, deduced they were Saturn’s now-famous rings.”
