Near Occultation of Saturn - Pete Lawrence

Saturn crashed into the moon last Friday. Well, if you were looking, it would have looked like it, except no explosion, no dust cloud. Of course it could have happened somewhere on the dark side and we would never know about it, except of course, it didn't.

Saturn, I think, is visible to the naked eye, but just as a bright spot. This picture tells me you don't need a whole lot of magnification to see the planet well enough to make out the rings.
