Come see Jupiter and its moons

As you must have noticed Jupiter is now its closest and brightest for the year. It is perfectly placed for telescope observations.

You are all invited to come take a peek through my telescope tomorrow night, Thursday from 8:00 - 9:00 pm.

I'll be at the roundabout in Dekel Gimel across from the park, at the beginning of the security road  by the Bailey's house.

Keep looking up!

Full Moon rising now together with Jupiter

Check it out.

After hiding in the morning sky for months the king of planets is back in the evening sky. Jupiter is now at its brightest for the year and will be visible for the whole night.

Jupiter is the brightest "star" visible in the sky now. It rises in the southeast with sunset and sets in the southwest at sunrise. It can be found just behind Scorpio, but if you are not sure where that is, just look for the Moon tonight or tomorrow.

The pair are now (about 9:00pm) low in the southeast sky. If you can't see them yet, wait an hour or 2 till they climb above the hills and trees. They will be highest about midnight when they will be found due south.
