APOD 1.6 (Two Planet Opposition)

I am especially proud of this photo because I saw Jupiter, its moons, and Uranus with my very own eyes (and binoculars) on the recent class star-gaze.  It is very rare to see two planets at opposition with the Earth at the same time, and it is very astounding to understand that the same little dots of light orbiting Jupiter helped Galileo prove we live in a heliocentric solar system, which put astronomy on a course to become what it is today.
