Celestial Spectacle: Jupiter and the Moon Converge in Night Sky

Skywatchers will have the opportunity to see Jupiter and the moon in close proximity in the night sky on Sunday. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, will be visible near the moon in the eastern sky just before 9 p.m. local time. The moon will be about 2.3 degrees below and to the right of Jupiter. This is a great time to observe Jupiter's four largest moons with binoculars or a telescope. If the weather doesn't cooperate, there will be another chance to see the moon and Jupiter together on October 28th.
