In this episode, Astronomy magazine Editor Emeritus Dave Eicher invites you to head out in the evening and observe the seventh planet in our solar system, Uranus. Discovered in 1781 by German-born British astronomer William Herschel using a homemade 6.2-inch reflecting telescope, it’s now positioned well for you to find. Good luck!
