- Uranus isn't the easiest planet to spot in the night sky, and most of the time we can't see it at all, but tonight it'll be a bit easier to spot the distant, frosty world.
- NASA says that Uranus will be near Mars in the night sky, and if you have something like a nice pair of binoculars or, better yet, a telescope, you should be able to see it.
- The planet, which is a pale blue and white, will appear tiny at such a distance, but it's actually nearly 15 times more massive than Earth.
When you gaze up at the night sky you see plenty of stars, but can you pick out planets when you see them? Sometimes it's possible to spot the likes of Jupiter and Mars without a telescope, but more often than not, folks with "average" eyes can't tell much of a difference. Tonight, however, you might be able to catch a glimpse of Uranus, and all you should need is a decent pair of binoculars.
Uranus huge, blue, and stinky. It's also one of the most interesting planets in our system, and it's not often that we have guideposts in the sky in order to see it. This time around, Uranus will appear close to Mars in the sky, making it a bit easier to spot, especially if you have the hardware to zoom in a little closer.
