Jupiter's closest approach to Earth in 59 years. NASA gives details
Hindustan TimesJupiter - the biggest planet in our solar system- will be in opposition from the viewpoint of Earth’s surface in 59 years - a potential delight for stargazers. “With good binoculars, the banding and three or four of the Galilean satellites should be visible,” said Adam Kobelski, a research astrophysicist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. One of the key needs will be a stable mount for whatever system you use", said Adam Kobelski, a research astrophysicist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, in a press statement. To see the massive planet’s Great Red Spot and bands in more detail, Kobelski recommended a larger telescope – a 4-inch or larger telescope and some filters in the green to the blue range would enhance the visibility of these features.
