My Dark Sky

Jupiter is at opposition today, a time that is best to observe it.  Jupiter will rise as soon as the Sun sets and only sets when the Sun rises.

I’ve been wanting to write about this for days… somehow I just can’t find the time.  Now I’m actually squeezing the break time between meeting to write this, so I’m sorry that I don’t have time to write more.  Click here for more details.  Just be aware that the star chart shown is not for our location.  Our “teapot” will be much higher and its orientation will also be different, with the “teapot month” pointing up.
