According to the Old Farmers Almanac, the dazzlingly bright and full moon many of us saw last night and which should continue for a few more nights is called the Hunters Moon for an obvious reason. Thats because this full moon in October, which also happens to be the first full moon of autumn, marked the start of that time of year when hunters started collecting and storing up food for the winter months.

This phenomenon, however, doesnt just give us a beautiful moon to enjoy. If youre lucky, the illumination might also reveal shooting stars, as well as even a view of Uranus.

On Friday, for example, the planet will still be in close proximity to the moon. Moreover, the moon wont be as bright meaning, youve got a better chance of seeing Uranus unobscured by the moons brightness.

Uranus will be shining at a magnitude of 5.7, Space.com reports. Thats just barely brighter than the farthest-away objects that a person with perfect vision can see at night. If you live near any source of light pollution, especially in or near big cities, you wont be able to see Uranus without a telescope.

The thing to keep in mind: Keep an eye out for a teal spot in the sky. But youll need to be looking up for it at the darkest time of night possible in order to spot Uranus (which is, fun fact, the third-biggest planet in our solar system). Uranus should actually be easier to spot intermittently through early November. Newsweek suggests starting your search in the sky by focusing slightly to the north of due east, to where the near-full moon rises.

Unfortunately literally no one without expert knowledge of star charts knows exactly which of those thousands of light dots is supposed to be Uranus.

Uranus shouldn't be hard to find.

The article says look for the blue-green dot.
