Saturn’s rings will seemingly disappear from view in 2025, a phenomenon caused by the planet’s rotation on an axis. Saturn won’t actually lose its rings in 2025, but they will go edge-on, meaning they will be essentially invisible to earthlings, NASA confirmed to CBS News.

The rings will only be slightly visible in the months before and after they go edge-on, Amy Simon, senior scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a statement to CBS News. Those who want to see what Saturn looks like on various dates can use the PDS rings node, she said.

Because the planet rotates on an axis tilted by 26.7 degrees, the view of its rings from Earth changes with time, Vahe Peroomian, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Southern California, told CBS News via email.

Every 13 to 15 years, Earth sees Saturn’s rings edge-on, meaning “they reflect very little light, and are very difficult to see, making them essentially invisible,” Peroomian said.

The rings last went edge-on in 2009 and they will be precisely edge-on on March 23, 2025, he said.

The Chinese company’s upcoming entry into the burgeoning smart ring market means consumers will have more choices in a wearables category dominated by a few key players. Celebrity favorite Oura is currently the most prominent player, with new entrant Evie, who focuses on women’s health, vying to grab some market share.

Samsung’s Galaxy Ring, which was physically shown off at MWC this week, is rumored to arrive as early as this year. Apple is also rumored to be experimenting with the idea of ​​a smart ring, according to Bloomberg.
