The largest planet in the Solar System will be especially large and bright as it rises in the east at sunset.
🔭 Anyone with even a simple pair of binoculars or basic telescope should be able to see stripes on the planet's surface and some of its largest moons.
Because Jupiter is directly opposite the Sun in our sky, it should be bright and easily visible with the naked eye close to the horizon in the east just after sunset for the next week 🌇
Dr Kobelski said:
💬 “With good binoculars, the banding (at least the central band) and three or four of the Galilean satellites (moons) should be visible. It’s important to remember that Galileo observed these moons with 17th century optics."
Nasa Marshall Space Flight Center research astrophysicist Adam Kobelski said:
💬 “Outside of the Moon, it should be one of the (if not the) brightest objects in the night sky.”
