Want To See Uranus With The Naked Eye? Tonight Is The Night

CBS Pittsburgh (KDKA) ^ | October 19, 2017

All jokes aside, tonight is the night if you want to see Uranus.

[tumblindice]

Maybe Uranus doesn't like being looked at.

[The_Media_never_lie]

No, thanks.

[mountn man]

I hollered, “Don’t look, Ethel!”
But it was too late.
She’d already been mooned.

I walked out on the porch, my wife said what was I up to? I told her I was just waiting to see Uranus. She said; “Not out there, you’re not.”

Even at opposition Uranus is still only magnitude +5.7.

At +5.7 you would need eagle eyes and almost perfectly dark skies to see the barest glimpse of a dot with dark adapted and averted vision.

Just like you can’t see the forest for the trees, you have to pull your head out to see Uranus.

Unfortunately, it is pretty dim and there are no easy identifiers near it. We went outside and looked and I’m sure we must’ve seen it, but there are so many stars in the sky! We were trying to see Pisces and look for Uranus from there, but not easy to see either.

[TheNext]

No I did not see the planet Uranus.

There, the only clean post.

[Old Yeller]

Gonna need a mirror, and some clippers.

[Vision Thing]

If you get caught between the moon and uranus.

I know it’s smelly, but it’s poo...

Arthur with Dudley Moore and Liza Minelli was a great movie!

[Boomer]

Cell phone camera?

[Albion Wilde]

Just hold a mirror up to it.

Hillary skinny dipin again? ...

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Try Rep. Rita Wilson (D-Fla). She’s the perfect Anus.

[ImNotLying]

Whew.....when I first read your post, I thought it said Hillary is sure to ensue and I envisioned pictures of her Uranus.

[central_va]

No Doc, my name ins't Ben Dover.

[stockpirate]

To see ananus turn on CNN

[DCBryan1]

We have heavy cloud cover here as well . . . no uranus for me!

PRO TIP: Gotta remove that underwear first, pal.
