Planetary Bullseye
Featured on October 28, 2019
This animation shows the aspect the planet Uranus will present to Earth through the year 2030. Uranus lies almost on its side, so as it orbits the Sun, first one pole and then the other aims at the Sun. That creates seasons that are quite different from those on Earth. (The animation also shows the planet's thin dark rings.) [Tomruen/Wikipedia]
