Uranus will “disappear” behind the Moon in September
I remember that once I was “corrected” by one Dutch amateur astronomer that “the planet Uranus cannot be simply visible” by a telescope from the Earth.
This happened on Twitter when I used to have an account there (Update on August 01, 2022 – I have created my Twitter account again due to some reasons). 🙂 Okay, so this year in September you will have a unique opportunity to see the planet Uranus with just a simple telescope or with a naked eye (in this case you need a really clear sky with no light pollution). The opportunity will be unique, especially because Uranus will “disappear” behind the Moon.

And when to watch the night sky and the Moon?
The Moon will cover the planet Uranus in the night from 14/15 September 2022. Time calculated for Central Europe is 23:22 (beginning) and 00:26 (end).
