Close Conjunction of Mars and Uranus
Witness an exceptionally rare planetary pairing as Mars and Uranus appear just 0.1° apart in the sky—their closest conjunction until 2053!
Through our powerful 24” telescope, you’ll be able to see both planets simultaneously in the same field of view. Despite being separated by enormous distances in space—with Mars relatively nearby and Uranus far beyond—the two worlds will appear strikingly similar in apparent size. It’s a powerful reminder of the scale and perspective of our solar system.
Weather permitting. Clear skies are required for viewing.
