Want to See Uranus? Starting this Weekend, You Could Get the Chance
The plant Uranus is in opposition to the sun, which gives us the best opportunity to see it from earth.
According to MSN, starting Saturday night and into the first week of October, Uranus should be in a good position to be visible from the Earth. The harvest moon might interfere with visibility, but don't let that deter you. Uranus should be visible with binoculars from Saturdan and into next week as the moon dims. According to MSN fun facts, Uranus is twice as far from the sun as the next closest planet, Saturn.
