The Moon and The Planets Align Tonight!!!
hahahaha I didn’t suppress…at all
Check out the eastern sky just after sunset tomorrow (Sept. 22), and you’ll catch a skywatching treat. The nearly full moon will be rising just above the bright planet Jupiter and a somewhat dimmer Uranus.
You’ll need binoculars if you hope to spot Uranus — it appears as a tiny bluish speck, too dim for the naked eye. So the coming celestial lineup is an excellent time to find that planet with binoculars or a small telescope, using Jupiter as a helpful guidepost.
While this is indeed cool, I may have suppressed laughing at “you’ll need binoculars if you hope to spot Uranus.”
Yes, I am a grow-up with a full-time job (with benefits and a 401K and Roth IRA even). I swear.
