On May 31, at 01:24 GMT (May 30, 9:24 p.m. ET), Mercury (mag -0.8) will pass 1°21' from Uranus (mag 5.8) in the constellation Taurus. The planets will be above the eastern horizon in the morning. This conjunction will be difficult to see from either hemisphere, as the planets will be obscured by sunlight. Also, Uranus isn't visible to the naked eye and requires optics.
