OK, we've got Jupiter. Jupiter is now rising about 8.30 PM this week. Look to the southeast later in the evening when Jupiter is well throughout the night, as it sets in the early morning hours. Actually, it's still up. It's actually still up by the time the sun rises. Jupiter's in the constellation of Gemini, shining at magnitude minus 2.4. And we got backward relative to the background stars. The Saturn is rising about 2 PM in the afternoon. So by the time the sun sets high towards the south, actually about halfway up the sky towards the south-southeast. Soon after sunset we should be able to spot Saturn. Saturn is in the constellation of Aquarius, shining at magnitude 0.8. And we got Uranus. We'll be at opposition on the 21st, rising as the sun sets. Uranus is now rising towards 39 in the afternoon. Just a little bit before, so it's actually pretty darn close to sunrise right now, or sunset, excuse me. Another one you'll have to wait about an hour or so to spot Uranus out to the east. Uranus is at its best and brightest for the year this month. look through Uranus to the south in the later evening. Uranus is in the constellation of Taurus shining at a magnitude of 5.2, just borderline for naked eye. So it's going to be very, very difficult to spot, especially from a city like near a city for sure, so that's going to be tough to spot.
