According to Gustav Holst, Jupiter is the bringer of jollity, and Uranus, the magician. Here we can see the two planets on the same photo, and not just that, but with moons. Jupiter is overexposed and overprocessed, so much so, that you can see its reflection in the lens. There is only 1 degree between the planets at this time. Uranus compares well in brightness with Jupiter’s moons. I couldn’t see the planet with my naked eye as it’s still too light polluted and/or misty here. Despite being easier to find, Jupiter’s glare contrarily makes Uranus more difficult to see.
