Jupiter this afternoon is moving in for the closest line-of-sight conjunction with the moon you’ll see until the year 2026.<\/p>\n

Jupiter is very bright and easily viewable in the daytime – especially with binoculars; the problem is you can never find it.   Because it’s so close to the moon today, that’s no problem: find the moon and you’ve found Jupiter.  This is my first pic of the day.  I’ll update with new ones every few hours as Jupiter moves in to closest approach and the Jovian satellites start to appear.   I have only a reasonable telephoto with me, not a telescope, but we’ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n

Get out there now with those binocs!<\/p>\n

That’s about as close as it will get: 30 minutes of arc, or a Moon’s diameter.  Some folks in the Southern Hemisphere will see Jupiter completely disappear behind the moon – an occultation.  But that’s me done for the evening.  Happy stargazing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
