Look Up It's Here! Jupiter Is Now At Its Closest To Earth
Ғылым және технология
Jupiter is at its closest to Earth as the planet has reached its opposition.
A superior planet is said to be at opposition when the Earth comes between the planet and the Sun. From the viewpoint of Earth's surface, during opposition, the astronomical object rises in the east as the Sun sets in the west, placing it and the Sun on opposite sides of Earth. Jupiter's opposition occurs every 13 months, making the planet appear larger and brighter than any other time of the year. Since Jupiter, just like other planets, goes around the Sun in an elliptical orbit, its opposition does not always coincide with its closest approach. The gas giant will make its closest approach to Earth on the night of 1st- 2nd November, when the distance between the Earth and Jupiter will be 370 million miles or 595 million km. That's one of the closest approaches to Earth in decades.
Then, Jupiter will reach opposition on November 2-3 at 5 GMT or 12 a.m. CDT, bringing Jupiter opposite the Sun in our sky. Jupiter's last opposition was noteworthy as the planet was at its closest to Earth in over 70 years, at 367 million miles. So, Jupiter will be slightly further away this year, but that would hardly make any apparent difference.

Thank you !!
good app recommendation,I downloaded the app last week its pretty accurate your videos are awesome keep it up man.
I've been a Sky watcher since I was young !!!! I can't wait!!!❤❤❤❤
its so beautiful, too. i wish i still had my telescope
I spent countless hours observing Jupiter at one of these close distances between 2001 and 2006. I would have to look at my journals to see what year. At moments of good seeing while observing through my 10" Newtonian, I observed details of Jupiter comparable to large observatories. I also observed the Galilean Moons as disc with the differences of shades of color and detail; although the detail was minor it was still amazing. I also observed the motion of the Galilean Moons like "little planets " as they passed the the edge of the disc of Jupiter. I recorded these observations in my journals in detail. I'll never regret doing so because I don't have the vision in my eyes I had in my youth. Now is the best time to take your telescopes for Jupiter people!
Thanks for the video & the news ✨
I always look forward to your videos. Thanks ❤

Please don't tell me that.😅 Last year we had a crazy amount of snow in Lassen county. It's mixed feelings especially when California had a drought and resources were mismanaged but now it looks like another tough winter in the Sierra Nevada range, great for the lakes and rivers but rough on us mortals.

I live near Liverpool UK. So have loads of light pollution. Im on holiday in Tenerife from the 30 October. Can anyone advise what date and time, would be the best to time to drive out to somewhere, to view the night sky.
It's nice getting updates on what to look for and when ✌️💚😃
Keep up the GREAT WORK 👍🇺🇸👍
can't wait to see it !
Finally youtube recommendation recommended something at exact time
I was fascinated watching the full moon last night & did see a bright star near it. I thought it was just a star & didn’t give it much attention. Just came to know this morning that it is Jupiter. Don’t know anything about the skies but I will definitely look forward to seeing it tonight.

No wonder! I thought I thought the app was mistaken when I looked up to the sky on Friday, and the star map app told me that bright object was Jupiter. Great video as always.

Exactly what it looked like when I dreamed about "Nibiru!" Off the coast of San Francisco! And something happens to the full moon day time. Your cover photo is right out of my dreams if it's San Francisco?
I’ve seen Jupiter for the past week or so.
At sunrise, I chased down a meteor a little to exact, it exploded on my left shoulder and it felt like I was sprayed with sand. Years later, I get scabs there that won't heal.
I didn't demote to Pluto, wasn't my mistake.👀
Useful💙
I am so glad i will move somewhere in new mexico the upcoming month! I would like to see this among some desert like white sands national park! :)

My mom told me to looke at the moon about yesterday or the day before and it looked big i saw a star close to it, after some time my mom csme running to me and said that star was jupiter i was so happy jupiter is my favourite planet and i even used my favoure (one of them) app called sky map ! It was jupiter idk how it happened!
Planets are getting closer and closer should we be worried the earth might collide with other planets I hope Saturn reaches opposition again

@MrGrumpyGills Don't be so sure. Venus spins backwards, probably because another plannet hit it, then was pulled into the Sun. Same with Uranus. Some plannet hit it & knocked it on it's side. Nothing says a rogue plannet can't enter our solar system, hit Mars, & send Mars on a new trajectory toward Earth. Small chance, but that chance is not zero!
👍👍👍👍👍
Yes Jupiter is at her brightest but also Uranus is near her and is at opposition.

NO one! THAT's who! Your "belief" in "someone" is a totally made up human construct. The about 6500 words that are found in the first part of Genesis of your "wholely buk" are NOT SCIENCE!!!! They are mythology only. IF there was any actual evidence in your buybull for ANYTHING in the entire universe, we would be plumbing it for all the information that it has. And it has been determined that it has NOTHING!
