Have you ever seen planet Uranus in your naked aye?
I'm wondering if it is possible to find it without the aid of a telescope..
-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
Jeffrey K say: Uranus can be seen without a telescope but only in a very dark sky if you know exactly where it is. I've never seen it without a telescope.
-
Gabe say: It is so far away as to be halfway betweem star and planet in its appearance.
-
The Donald say: No, but I've seen your momsanus.
-
Dole Bludger say: I bent over and looked into a mirror.
-
Donald Trump Supporter say: yeah
-
Ronald 7 say: No
But then my eyesight is not that good
With a magnitude of + 5. 7 it is manageable with really good eyesight at opposition on a clear moonless night outside any light pollution
These places are becoming few and far between these days unfortunately
-
Brian say: I can't seem to bend down at the waist and look up my butt hole; so sorry.
-
tham153 say: near opposition Uranus can reach as bright as magnitude +5.7, visible in good conditions. It actually was known before Herschel discovered it to the Maori of New Zealand. I've never managed it without a telescope
-
Debbie say: I like to look at Uranus all the time
-
Bela say: I haven't. Uranus is only sometimes visible by a keen naked eye on very dark, clear nights. If you wear glasses or contacts, you in all likelihood will never be able to see it with your naked eye.
-
ngc7331 say: Uranus can reach a brightness that is visible with the unaided eye. I can confidently say that I "think" I've seen it. After pointing my telescope at Uranus, I've peeked through the Tel-Rad and strained to see a blue green point of light. High altitude, dry cold air and FAR from city lights and you might have a shot at seeing it too.

Roger say: In October 2017, I took a picture of Pisces with a Nikon D3200 DSL and the circled object is Uranus. Not very impressive, I used a star chart to identify it. I don't think I could not identify it with the unaided eye. Would need binoculars and a good star chart.
-
Tiburon say: bend over
-
Cewyah say: No, I've only seen Venus, Mars and Jupiter with my naked eye.
-
poldi2 say: I have not seen it, but with an apparent magnitude between 5.38 and 6.03 it is possible to see it (as a very faint star) with the naked eye at a dark location.
-
busterwasmycat say: Pretty sure the answer is no. I have trouble finding it even with binocs.
-
wandycakes say: I said to my neighbour the other night that "I saw Uranus". Boy! She slapped me real hard!! I said what's your problem?? Jeeez!!
-
Will say: I have had a faint 'star' in the night sky pointed out as Uranus when we were camping in the Sierras, but this was back before we could just whip out a phone and verify it's location, so it might have been just about anything.
-
Bill-M say: NO. That planet is too far away to see with out a telescope.
If your a troll, I am sorry for giving you a serious answer.
-
Some Chinese Fisherman say: No. Its a dot in the tons of stars in the sky. Other planets are only view-able at certain hours and can only Truly be defined through a telescope. Otherwise, on rare occasions of the year we may be closer than other times and instead of a white dot, you'd see a red dot for mars or otherwise.
-
AdamTheAtheist say: No but it is possible to see it with the unaided eye in the constellation Pisces on dark, moonless nights in October.
-
Stephen24 say: No one can see an object that far without a telescope.
-
duke_of_urls say: I have only seen it with binoculars.
I was not nearly in a remote enough area to even try.
-
WHANKING-WILLY say: Not ordinarily, not, but possible.
-
CarolOklaNola say: Yes I have seen Uranus BY naked eye, not in, more than once. I used binoculars to confirm it was Uranus. My vision is corrected.



Juvenile bathroom jacks are very boring.

Choose a bloody best answer. It's not hard. say: I haven't, but it can be seen in a very dark sky if you know where to look and have sharp eyesight, as it's very faint; the brightest it gets is mag 5.3. This is why it was only discovered as a planet when Herschel saw it through his telescope as a small disc.

You'd probably have to find out where it is compared to other stars down to that magnitude on the date you want to view, and then look for it at night without any visual aid. Even using a red night light to look at a star atlas does take some night vision away for a time.
