Uranus and Neptune will be in excellent positions to spot them in the night sky this autumn.

All I have is 8 x 56 binoculars. Good ones, but I don’t know if they’re powerful enough. Would I be able to see them?

Serious question: Does Uranus emit gas and have rings around it?

You need a telescope to see Neptune but a mirror to see Uranus!
Unless you want to go to a joint session of Congress where you can see ALL 535 ANUSES at once!

The older common pronunciation of Uranus was better. They should have let it be instead of arguing for the new common pronunciation a few years ago.

I saw both last weekend with my scope. Ur-ran-us was a brilliant green disk, and Neptune was a smaller dull green disk.
Couldn’t see either planets moons.
Also couldn’t see Ur-ran-us’ naked eye. And I was at a dark sky site.

Modern civilization spends too much time in the gutter to have a planet named Uranus. Just sayin’

I never can make out those blue lines in the night sky.....

Using a magnification of 150x with a telescope of at least three-inch aperture, you just might be able to slip Uranus into a pale-green, featureless disk known by the name of Harvey Weinstein.
