Hidee Friends and Neighbors!
How many times have you wanted to look at Uranus but couldn't figger out where is the proper place to do it? Well, here is a fool-proof way...
From any location in the northern hemisphere, go outside around sundown on Christmas Eve -- 4:45 give or take a few minutes. Then turn and face NNE. Now bend over and touch yore toes. Now look straight back to the SSW at approximately 37 degrees up from the horizon. There you will see Uranus!
Now you can point it out to others! For example, next time you are amongst a large group of people (preferably a church crowd), you can proudly point out Uranus for all to see!
