Probably you have noticed that this month is Jupiter quite bright in the night sky. It is because this planet is these days at its opposition. Where to look to see Jupiter?
Jupiter and moons – timeline in March 2017. Maybe you remember how Galileo Galilei discovered the moons of Jupiter in 1609.
Lets’ hope that the Sun will rise tomorrow again 🙂
Clear night sky allowed me to take some some photos with my camera. Again without using a telescope. Here is one of my photos of Jupiter with its moons.
Finally the night sky was clear after couple of days. And a very nice present for all of us was up there – Moon and bright Jupiter very close to each other.
Last night was the prenumbral lunar eclipse, but there was also a great opportunity to take a photo of planet Jupiter with its Galilean moons around.
Information for observing of the prenumbral Moon eclipse visible from Europe in February 2017.
