Binocular view from the desert city of Tucson around 10:45 p.m. local time tonight. You can see that the Moon is a little farther north of the planet compared to the view from Seattle. The 1,500 miles between the two cities is enough to cause our satellite, which is relatively close to the Earth, to shift position against the background stars. Source: Stellarium 1 posted on

A dramatic pass at my what? Oh./

Once I explained what a “pass” is, my kids laughed at the title.

How can “the moon completely hide Uranus”?
I though a Moon had the opposite effect.

Get ready for a Total Eclipse of the Half.

Must be a full moon really - or I guess a half moon passing it must be quite dramatic.

There are way too many good jokes...
Futurama did probably topped them all with this one:
Fry: Oh, man, this (Smell-O-Scope) is great! Hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus.
[He laughs.]
Leela: I don't get it.
Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all..
Fry: Oh. What's it called now?
Farnsworth: Urectum.

As always, whenever there is something I might want to look at, it’s overcast, or 3:30AM, with 50mph winds, and or below zero outside....
(sometimes all of the above)
