    Titan Shadow Transits are rare events and can only be witness when the planet Saturn appears edge wise to us here on earth. The next one will also occur on the morning of Feb 24, 2009. At about 5:30 am on this date the shadow of Saturn's largest moon Titan will again skim the northern portion of the disk of the planet. By 6:00 am the event will be well underway, see the above image with Saturn 20 degrees above the horizon. Luckily for us the sun rise is not until 7 am but of course during this observation we will certainly experience the brightness of dawn well before we wish.
