What about Jupiter?


Ed in Houston

Recommended Posts

Currently Jupiter can be seen as the brightest "star" in the sky just south of overhead (from the US) about 2 hours before dawn.
Jupiter reaches opposition on February 6th 2015 when it is closest to the Earth. Jupiter is well placed for northern hemisphere observers this apparition. At opposition Jupiter will have a declination of +16 degrees and a diameter of over 44 arc seconds when it will be 4.35 AU from Earth and shining at magnitude -2.6. It will appear nearly overhead around local midnight at this time.
Jupiter as it appeared on November 29th from Houston Texas, 36 arc seconds in diameter.

Now that she is back in the atmosphere

With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey hey hey

-Train

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere
