Can you spot Uranus in this photo? You may be surprised to learn... it is possible to see it with the naked eye no telescopes or binoculars required.

This brings back memories of high school science class. We just kept asking question after question about Uranus and she just kept right on answering without giviving any indication of anything unusual. She had to have known the joke, but we thought she was just clueless
