JUPITER AND URANUS IN PISCES

The southeastern half of the Circlet of Pisces lies at top center, north up and to the left, part of eastern Aquarius down and to the right. The picture, taken October 2, 2010, is dominated by bright Jupiter at center. Much fainter at magnitude 5.7, Uranus lies just up and to the left of Jupiter, almost exactly between it and the Vernal Equinox. Uranus's blue-green color can be seen on the higher resolution image.
