TABLE 1 | (T) - Occurs during evening twilight (N) - Occurs at night in complete darkness If no (T) or (N) is listed, the event occurs during daylight All time are p.m. | Local viewing circumstances for the occultation of Saturn on Feb. 20, 2002 The table below shows local sunset time, plus when Saturn disappears behind the Moons dark limb and when it reappears from behind the Moons bright limb; both events can last up to two minutes, including the passage of the planet and its rings. Times given are for the center of the planet (meaning the rings will start to disappear about a minute sooner than the times given). To anticipate where Saturn will reappear, visualize the face of a clock and see the "Clock Face" column. From Philadelphia, for example, Saturn will emerge at 8:42 p.m. in the "4:30" position, between the 4 and 5 on a clock face. "Next Chance" shows the next opportunity to see Saturn occulted in a dark or twilight sky. | City | Sunset | Disappear | Reappear | Clock Face | Next Chance | | Los Angeles | 5:42 PST | 3:21 | 3:56 | 11:50 | Sep. 17, 2024 | | Phoenix | 6:18 MST | 4:17 | 5:16 | 12:40 | Sep. 17, 2024 | | Denver | 5:42 MST | 4:42 | 5:31 | 1:00 | Sep. 17, 2024 | | Houston | 6:15 CST | 5:26 | 6:58 (T) | 4:10 | Jan. 5. 2037 | | Dallas | 6:17 CST | 5:30 | 6:56 (T) | 3:30 | Sep. 17, 2024 | | New Orleans | 5:53 CST | 5:38 | 7:11 (T) | 5:20 | Feb. 28, 2037 | | St. Louis | 5:45 CST | 5:53 (T) | 7:12 (T) | 3:30 | Jan. 5, 2037 | | Chicago | 5:31 CST | 6:05 (T) | 7:14 (N) | 3:20 | Dec. 8, 2036 | | Atlanta | 6:27 EST | 6:55 (T) | 8:26 (N) | 5:10 | Feb. 28, 2037 | | Miami | 6:18 EST | 7:03 (T) | 8:27 (N) | 7:00 | Nov. 10, 2024 | | Wash., DC | 5:52 EST | 7:17 (T) | 8:39 (N) | 4:40 | Feb. 28, 2037 | | Toronto | 5:54 EST | 7:21 (T) | 8:28 (N) | 3:40 | Dec. 8, 2036 | | Philadelphia | 5:42 EST | 7:22 (D) | 8:42 (N) | 4:30 | Feb. 28, 2037 | | New York | 5:37 EST | 7:25 (D) | 8:43 (N) | 4:20 | Feb. 28, 2037 | | Boston | 5:24 EST | 7:32 (D) | 8:45 (N) | 4:10 | Dec. 8, 2036 | | Montreal | 5:28 EST | 7:34 (D) | 8:34 (N) | 3:30 | Dec. 8, 2036 | | Halifax | 5:49 AST | 8:47 (D) | 9:49 (N) | 3:50 | Dec. 8, 2036 | SOURCES: Joe Rao; Sky & Telescope magazine; Starry Night Pro software
