Oops, haha, should be .5/9.54. I got conflicting values from google and
accidentally used the worse one in my calculation. The actual result is
about 6 degrees.

I got 2*asin(.5/9.54) by trying to find the angle of the top of an isosceles
triangle with two sides of length 9.54 and one side of length 1. The sun
would be one of the bottom corners of this triangle, we'd be the other.
Whether this will actually happen in our lifetime depends on our orbit
relative to Saturn and how fast they move respective to each other.
