I just saw Uranus!
It was bright and sparkly with a hint of blue!
(True story)

Cool!

I wonder if NASA will release photos of Uranus.

It wasn't mine, it was Uranus...

Cool. Going to bring out the heavy artillery and see if I can get some pictures over the weekend. I'd read about the upcoming opposition a few months ago but kind of filed it way in the back of my mind. Mars will be at opposition next summer and closest since about 20 years ago as well.

Gratuitous photo: Venus and Mars conjunction from two weeks ago.

Less is more.

Re Mars opposition: I believe it was about 10-15 years ago that Mars was that close and bright. I remember getting up before dawn to go to a duathlon, and seeing Mars looking like a brilliant red ruby in the sky. It was beautiful to behold. I stopped the car for a few minutes just to stare at it. Do not miss it next time!

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Wow, Big Endian, great photo. If you get a chance to take more this weekend, please share. Thanks.

Brings back memories of the hilarious "Big Deck" sketch on the Blue Collar Comedy show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW5rhvmAu0c
