Tonight 11 February 2023 (11/2/2023) Jupiter will make the closest approach to Earth, its best time for star gazers to observe it with telescopes and without Telescope.
The largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, is approaching closer to Earth, an exciting event for astronomy enthusiasts.
A Brighter View for Sky watchers.
People observing Jupiter with the naked eye can now see it more clearly than before. As Jupiter is currently at its closest point to Earth, the sunlight reflecting off its surface reaches us in greater intensity and brightness, making it more visible and easier to observe.
Maximum distance to Jupiter.
The maximum distance of Jupiter from Earth is 601 million miles (968 million kilometers), while its minimum distance is 365 million miles (588 million kilometers)
Observation through Telescope.
For stargazers with telescopes, this is a fantastic opportunity! On this day, you'll have a clearer view of Jupiter and its moons, making it an ideal time for observation through your telescope.
Duration of deep observation.
What's even better is that Jupiter will be visible throughout the entire night. It will rise in the east, where the Sun rises, and set in the west by morning. As the brightest object in the night sky, Jupiter will be a stunning sight until dawn.
