Upcoming lunar occultation of Uranus

If you are in Europe and have a small telescope you can get most of the moon and Uranus in the same shot!

You have a few options there for “not like the others”

One rotates in the reverse direction of the others
One is almost on its side
One has an extensive bright ring system
One has liquid water on its surface

Etc.

I’m going to be in Orlando for work week after next so I hope they’re able to make that Sept 23 launch date. Anything’s possible, right?

I’ve been waiting patiently for the next Philatelic and what a great surprise when it arrived today!

Not space-related, but other great sets coming out this season: birth centennial of Charles Schulz (Peanuts cartoonist) and “Women Cryptologists of WWII” (no particular individuals but I’ll take it).
