Uranus orbits at about 20 time the distance Earth does from the sun. That means that the difference between closest approach (conjunction) and most distant approach (oposition) is about 10%. Big wup.

Does Uranus at night look like a hole in the ground?

Uranus may even be bright enough to see with the naked eye.

The whole world will be able to see Uranus?

Golly!

I can’t understand why anyone would want to see the dirty rings around Uranus.

What is interesting is that the ancient astronomers were oblivious. The Greeks may have had another god, if they noticed.

I guess the whole star trek, Klingons, toilet paper and Uranus thing is inevitable.

I told my neighbor “I will be looking at Uranus tonight. From my backyard. With binoculars.”

There is a “For Sale” sign on the house now. They used to be so friendly.

Will it be close enough for liberals to pull stuff out of it?

On a more serious note, unless you have a dark sky, you probably won’t see it.

I plan on going to my clubs dark sky site and look for Uranus (U-RAN-us would be the pronunciation in Latin), and I know where to look, so, if I do see it naked eye, I will be surprised.

And besides, the scientist changed the name of the 7th planet to finally kill that joke.

It’s now called “Urectum”. (Thanks Professor Farnsworth!)

Just a little too close to see Uranus.
