The planet Jupiter will on Monday appear bigger and brighter than on any other night in 2019, creating great opportunities for astronomy buffs, especially amateurs, to observe Jupiter and its moons, which will be visible throughout the night, ANA reports.
The Earth will be positioned exactly between the Sun and Jupiter, a phenomenon called “opposition” that happens approximately every 13 months. This is also called “the night of opposition” because Jupiter will be opposite the sun, rising at sunset and soaring overhead at midnight. The next time that Earth and Jupiter will come so close again will be in July 2020.
