Saturn will reach its opposition point on Sunday, Apr. 28 in what is expected to be the best view of the ringed-planet in six years.

A live stream of the cosmic show is available during a live webcast on SPACE.com that will begin at 9:30 p.m. ET.

The planet's trademark rings will be tilted at just the right angle so that Earth dwellers may bask in its beauty.

Saturn is also expected to be bright---almost as bright as well-known stars like Betelgeuse, according to SPACE.com

The celestial spectacle will stick around for a while, as experts believe it should be visible all night on Apr. 27 and Apr. 28.

And to make the view even more majestic, the planet's shadow is expected to fall so that all of its rings will be visible to those who watch.

When the planet reaches its opposition point this weekend, the point where it is situated exactly opposite from the sun in our sky, the viewing capability may be affected by weather.

But don't let that deter you from catching a glimpse of Saturn and its magnificent rings.

Keep an eye on the live webcast.

And while some people claim they can see the planet with the naked eye, a magnification of about 25-power to 100-power is needed to see a high-quality image of Saturn---according to NBC News Science.

But if you do get the chance to see Saturn in all its glory, experts agree that the sight astounds those who are lucky enough to view it.

"The first impulse people have when they see Saturn for the first time is to say it is fake," said Alan MacRobert, senior editor of Sky & Telescope, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

"It is almost too much of an icon. We've seen the image of that planet with the rings since we were kids, and to see the real thing---some people can't believe it's real."
