One of the furthest planets from us in the solar system, Uranus, will make its closest ever approach to Earth - and stargazers can watch via a live broadcast.
The icy blue planet's close encounter with our planet will be broadcasted by the Slooh Telescope internet channel as it rises in the east as the sun goes down on Tuesday evening (October 13).
Starting at around 11pm British time, viewers can watch the planet through the telescope.
Astronomers admit that little is known about the distant ice giant, which was first spotted by William Herschel on March 13, 1781, using a homemade telescope.
Last year, scientists were excited by extreme storms raging on the normally bland surface of the ice giant planet.
The cloud activity is so bright that even amateur astronomers have seen signs of it in the blue-green atmosphere of the planet, which is 30 times further away from the Sun than the Earth.
