Referencing Wikipedia is a lousy way to do research. Since it is a publicly edited encyclopedia nobody can truly vet the accuracy of the information presented within.
Here are some websites that contains not only the information about Saturn that you seek, but also the other planets. I would still not use this as a citation, but it's better than Wikipedia.
http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/planets
http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Saturn
Start there, then read up on the information in science journals and other credible sources of information.

Basically the first 6 planets can be seen with a telescope. However, I don't recommend that you look at mecury, as it is usually infront of the sun, and you'll damage your eyes.
