Jupiter is about to make its closest approach to Earth in 59 years
NASA said that Jupiter would make its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60 years. The planet reaches opposition on Monday night, appearing large and bright.
Jupiter will soon reach opposition, appearing larger and brighter than at any other point of the year. At the same time, it’ll make its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60 years.
Jupiter will be some 367 million miles from Earth on Monday, the closest it's been since 1963. It coincides with Jupiter being on the opposite side of Earth from the sun — when it'll be its brightest.
Amateur astronomers and the public alike will be treated to a special celestial show Monday night, as the solar system’s largest planet will be close enough that its features can potentially be seen with just a pair of binoculars.
