Tuesday July 11^th two of the outer planets, Jupiter and Uranus, will be at heliocentric opposition. The two planets will be on opposite sides of the Sun and will be approximately 180^o apart. Jupiter at 205^o, and Uranus at 25^o.
   Earth is in this graphic but not as part of the heliocentric opposition. A few days ago Jupiter was at eastern quadrature.
