The cosmos is always in motion, and it allows spectators to see some cool stuff.
This is due to Uranus being in opposition.
Uranus will be in opposition on Nov. 17 at 3 p.m. UTC, which translates to 10 a.m.
ET and 7 a.m. PT.
It’ll rise out of the eastern sky around sunset and set into the western horizon around sunrise.
That means you have all night to check it out.
Nov. 16 to 18 is the best time as that is when the planet will be in opposition.
Uranus will be in the sky quite literally all night for every night this month.
That is one of the benefits of a planet being in opposition.
You will almost certainly need either binoculars or a telescope to see Uranus.
However, that requires near-perfect conditions, and most people don’t live in those types of conditions.
So, we recommend bringing along a visual aid to help you see it.
You don’t need anything super powerful to spot the planet.
The stronger your telescope, the larger and more detailed your view will be.
Opposition happens once a year for each planet in the solar system except Venus and Mercury.
The next time Uranus will be in opposition is Nov. 21, 2025.
