This month there is plenty to spot in the night skies over Merseyside if it’s a clear night.
Uranus
Uranus can best be seen in the hours just after sunset. Visibility will improve as the sunlight fades.
Uranus will be at its highest point int the sky around 5pm, so the planet will only be visible as it begins to set.
Jupiter
Jupiter will begin to rise at around 2am and will be at its highest point in the sky around 6:25am, so there wont be a lot of time to view the planet.
As Jupiter shines brightly in the sky it should be quite easy to spot if skies stay clear, however, its worth remembering that as sunlight approaches it will begin to fade in the brighter lighting conditions.
