Jupiter Will Be So Close...



The largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, will be clearly visible June 10 — and to see its biggest moons all you'll need is a pair of binoculars.


NASA said the gas giant is at its "biggest and brightest this month" and will be visible all night. The planet will reach opposition, the annual occurrence when the Jupiter, Earth and the Sun are arranged in a straight line, with Earth in the center. So, mark your calendars for Monday, as it will be the best time of the year to see it.
