Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, and four of its moons will clearly visible Monday evening, June 10, to astronomy buffs with small telescope or a good pair of binoculars.
The gas giant reaches opposition on Monday — the annual occurrence when Jupiter, Earth and the Sun are arranged in a straight line, with Earth in the middle.
Weather permitting, it's considered the best time of the year to see Jupiter, as the planet is visible in the sky all night, and it's around the time when Jupiter is closest to Earth.
"The solar system's largest planet is a brilliant jewel to the naked eye, but looks fantastic through binoculars or a small telescope, which will allow you to spot the four largest moons, and maybe even glimpse a hint of the banded clouds that encircle the planet," NASA said in a statement on its website.
Although opposition occurs Monday, viewing of Jupiter is expected to be better than usual for most of the month.
Jupiter has 79 known moons, including the four large moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610.
