Jupiter Makes Close Pass At Earth

Universe Today writes Jupiter Makes Close Pass At Earth "Jupiter is always bright, but if you think it looks a little brighter than usual this month, you’re right,’ says Robert Naeye, editor in chief of Sky & Telescope magazine. ‘Jupiter is making its closest pass by Earth for the year. And this year’s pass is a little closer than any other between 1963 and 2022.’ The giant planet will reach its nearest point to us on the evening of September 20, 2010 – but will remain one of the brightest objects in the night through the end of the month."
