It’s *not* only visible on Sunday, but, at the very least, throughout the month. See the maps above.

I looked at it two nights ago. Obvious in large binoculars. Can't miss it if it's in the field of view.

I’m embarrassed to say it, but uranus is never a naked eye visible object.

This topic for some reason reminded me of my all time favor FReeper moonbat, Truth666 (banned over ten years ago). Here’s the sample topics, took way too much time to track this one down, Google was no help at all.

[snip] Astronomers know nothing about the universe, except for a few large bodies with regular orbits. Any idiot should have understood that the latest by April 14, 2004, as comet Bradfield (diameter : 10,000 km) popped out of nowhere to become the largest body ever recorded in the inner solar system.

I shot this image below of Comet Lovejoy in early 2015. We'll see what kind of show 46P/Wirtanen puts on.
98x25s.

Ya got a bit of a wait but I think it should be coming around again in about 70,000 years or so. Maybe it'll put on a better show next time.☺
