Early in the evening, the two will be separated by a couple degrees, but around 11:30 p.m. (CST) when the moon reclines in the western sky, the planet will dangle like an solitary diamond less than a third of a lunar diameter away.

The farther north you live, the closer the twain will be. Skywatchers in Japan, the northeastern portion of Russia, northern Canada and Alaska will see the Moon completely hide Uranus for a time. The farther west you are, the higher the Moon will be when they conjoin. West Coast states see the pair highest when they’re closest, but everyone will get a good view

Yes they pixalate all the fun parts or so I hear

[Fresh Wind]

Will this get rid of the Klingons?

[Gay State Conservative]

The only thing that passes at *Myanus* is my doctor's finger...and only after I've been anesthetized.

[catnipman]

Dramatic or not, the moon just better stay the hell away from my anus!

[Cvengr]

When does your moon hide Uranus?

(Most of the time, I hope.)

[a fool in paradise]

Don’t look now but when there is a full moon, people have a good likelihood of seeing Uranus.
