A close encounter with Jupiter!

[Jo]

This week, Earth and Jupiter are only 400 million miles apart--the nearest the two worlds will be all year. The giant planet is easy to see, and even a small telescope will reveal its rust-colored cloud belts and its four largest moons... http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/03mar_jupiter.htm?list984641

Dust off your telescope! :hotjump:

 

[xenophobe]

I have a hard case for mine... therefore it's not dusty!

Awesome, though stuff liek this happens fairly frequently... It's always cool to see
