We have got Neptune is at opposition with the sun today, rising as the sun sets. Neptune is rising about 6.52 pm, let's see, today. And the sun set at the 64. So, definitely take a look at Neptune, low to the east in the late evening. About within one degree of Saturn all month. Neptune is in the constellation of Pisces, at a magnitude of 7.7. So, we have a solid six, oh, seven magnitudes greater than Venus. How about Saturn? Yeah, there you go. So, Neptune is seven magnitudes dimmer than Saturn there. But with Saturn, it is actually a fairly decent pointer. Neptune is almost at the nine o'clock position within a one degree of that. One degree is about two full moon widths from there. So, within that distance, you just kind of have to slide your binoculars or telescope over a little bit, towards the left a little bit in the early evening hours. You should be able to see Saturn and Neptune. Neptune is going to be kind of a bluish dot.
