Saturn.  Probably the most widely known planet, probably because of its'
most-excellent rings.  The other outer planets (Jupiter, Uranus and
Neptune) also have rings, but not of Saturn's magnitude.  The rings are
closing up; that is, based on the orbit of us & the planet relative to
the Sun, the rings are slowly "merging". In a short while, a small
telescope will not be able to see them.  But then, a few years later,
it'll be easier.  Saturn is about twice as far away as Jupiter.  Taken
in 8/93.
