"Join NASA in Exploring Uranus from a Unique Perspective"

NASA is inviting amateur astronomers with large backyard telescopes to collaborate in studying Uranus and Neptune. While most of the work will be done by the Hubble Space Telescope and the New Horizons spacecraft, NASA believes that every little bit helps. It has been decades since a mission visited Uranus and Neptune, and until a spacecraft can reach them, astronomers are relying on data from Voyager 2 and remote observations. By combining data from multiple instruments, including those from amateur telescopes, astronomers hope to learn more about the atmospheres of these ice giants.
