Uranus

This is my current picture of Uranus. It is the 3rd of the 4 giant gas planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).  Even though Uranus is a very long way out there, and smaller than either Jupiter or Saturn, it is still big enough that if you know where to look for it, it can easily be seen with ordinary binoculars. I was pleased to get this picture because it captured it's true natural color.
