On September 19, the opposition of Neptune will take place, during which the planet will be as bright as possible for observers from Earth, reports starwalk.space.
Even during opposition, the planet farthest from the Sun will not be very bright, and it will be easiest to see it with a telescope, the report says.
During opposition, the planet or other cosmic body is on the opposite side of the Sun relative to the Earth and is most brightly illuminated by it. The most famous particular case of opposition is the full moon.
