When I go out side in the night I now can see Jupiter very bright due to it is in opposition now, but I then look around to spot this little yellow dot which I think is Saturn. Right now I see it to the west of Jupiter. so is Saturn now in opposition to us also?
Yes, William, Saturn will be at oppoistion in less than a week, on 9 July. The following site has information about Saturn's upcoming opposition. https://in-the-sky.org/news.php?id=20190709_12_100 The site automatically detected my location and so the info is relevant to Sydney, Australia, but there is a little icon of a wrench/spanner that you can click on and that will let you choose your location.
