TL;DR Summary

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft and the Hubble Space Telescope will observe the ice giants Uranus and Neptune in September, and amateur astronomers are invited to contribute their observations. The distant vantage point of New Horizons will provide unique insights into the atmospheres of these planets. Amateur astronomers can help track bright features in the planets' atmospheres and supplement the data collected by the spacecraft and telescope. Images can be shared on social media with the hashtag #NHIceGiants. Additional details about the campaign will be posted soon, and the images from New Horizons and Hubble will be publicly available later this year.
