You might not need a telescope to spot Uranus tonight. The ice giant planet will reach opposition on Thursday, bringing it to the closest point in its orbit to Earth. In this position, the blue-green planet will be visible in the sky all night long – and, while you’ll definitely be able to see it with binoculars, NASA says Uranus may even be bright enough to see with the naked eye.

Ice on Uranus is good for hemorrhoids................
Thanks for the info. My 13 year old son is excited to see this. And running around telling “Uranus” jokes because 13 year old boy.
I really have no interest in looking at Uranus.
You mean like this?
“Uranus may even be bright enough to see with the naked eye.”

Er. It’s a Gas Giant. Not an ice giant.
“You might not need a telescope to spot Uranus tonight”
Just a mirror.
But NASA says Uranus may even be bright enough to see with the naked eye!........................
Admit it. When it comes to Uranus, we will forever be 13 years old.
If I wanted to see Uranus up close, I'd google "Jennifer Lawrence nude selfies." Something I do quite frequently, now that I think about it.
If Uranus is close enough to see with the naked eye, that’s way too close, mate.
Anus of Uranus
Klaatu - 1977
Late last night
While wishing on a star
Down from the sky
Came a man in a car
He said “Get in Jackson
Come on, let’s go for a ride”
Outta sight
Sitting in a cockpit
Strapped down in a chair
I said “Hey, tell me
What’s that over there?”
He said “Meet my computer
He’s a friendly son-of-a-gun”
And we’re having fun
Playing cards on Venus
In a cloudy room
Pass a glass of ammonia
I’ve got to get off soon
Sunbathing on Mercury
Or jamming on Jupiter
Which do you prefer?
It’s getting pretty late
I got to go home
Nice to have met you
What’s your telephone?
Maybe soon I’ll call you
If I can afford the fare
It’s long distance out there
Anus of Uranus
He’s a friend of mine
He’s a first rate party
And a real fine time

No matter how adult and professional scientists are, even they would shy away from being know as the head of the "Uranus Study Team" or for submitting a serious proposal "to probe the inner workings of Uranus". I assume this is only an English problem and other the joke doesn't translate into other languages? Maybe Russia or China is the best hope for Uranus exploration...
But maybe a mirror?
Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants. Uranus and Neptune are ice giants.
Definition:
“An ice giant is a giant planet composed mainly of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur.”
Seeing Uranus is a once in a lifetime event!.............
Or maybe San Francisco
