1 ~~~ Jupiter Will Be Closer to Earth Than It Has Been in 59 Years Tonight — How to See It
The Red Giant will look much bigger and brighter than usual.
Stargazers, ready your telescopes. Jupiter is about to reach opposition tonight, and this year's edition of the celestial event is a particularly special one.
A planet's opposition occurs when it appears opposite to the sun from the perspective of Earth.
So in the case of Jupiter on Monday night, the planet will rise in the east as the sun sets in the west, separated by 180 degrees.
(In other words, Earth is passing right in between Jupiter and the sun).
