NASA is back again with its monthly roundup up of skywatching treats, which this time includes a chance to view the distant ice giant planet Uranus.
NASA is back again with its monthly review of what to look out for in the night sky over the coming weeks.
The pairing involves a close conjunction of Mars and the distant ice giant planet Uranus, which you can see during the early part of August. NASA says that while you won’t be able to see Uranus with the naked eye, a pair of binoculars will help to bring both planets into view at the same time. Later in the month, on the morning of August 15, look skyward to see the moon appear just a finger’s width from Jupiter. “Like Mars and Uranus, they’ll make a great pairing through binoculars, and you’ll also likely catch a glimpse of Jupiter’s four largest moons,” NASA says in its monthly roundup.
NASA also says that August is a great month to see Saturn as it transitions from a late-night and early-morning object to an all-night sight. To spot it, look low in the east around 9 p.m. for a steady, yellowish point of light. Peer skyward nightly and you’ll notice how it rises a bit earlier as the month goes on.
