NASA says Jupiter 'is at its biggest and brightest this month'
NASA has said that Jupiter"is at its biggest and brightest this month," and can be observed in detail with only a minimum of equipment.
"While you're out marveling this trio, there's a really neat astronomy observation you can attempt yourself, just by paying attention to the Moon's movement from night to night," the agency added on its website. "Unlike stars, it won't twinkle," he told CNN."Even when it's low down, it will look pretty steady, and that will make it stand out. You'll need a good clear southern horizon to see it."
Famous for its awe-inspiring stripes and swirls, Jupiter is fifth in line from the sun and the largest planet in the solar system. Last year, NASA finally received stunning images of the giant planet after deploying the spacecraft Juno in 2011.
