麻豆传媒映画

Did you happen to spot Jupiter last night?

You might have spotted the dazzling behemoth in Metro 麻豆传媒映画skies — even if you weren't looking for it. 

For the first time since October 1963, the largest planet in our solar system was in direct opposition to the sun at the exact same time that it approached perigee, which refers to the time when the planet and Earth are closest to each other in their orbits.

Since Earth was positioned directly between Jupiter and the sun, the massive planet looked especially bright in the night sky. Additionally, it looked especially large due to its close proximity to Earth.

These two events also won't take place concurrently for another 107 years in 2129.

While it was possible to spot the interstellar display with the naked eye, a pair of binoculars or a telescope provided the ideal view of the planet's details, such as the cloud belts and the Galilean moons.

Tyler Black shared a spellbinding, highly-detailed photo of the planet on Twitter that he captured at 3:40 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 27. He adds that the planet's "great red spot" was facing Earth. 

The image was taken from his balcony in downtown 麻豆传媒映画"using a Takahashi FSQ85EDX Telescope and a QHY268M astrophotography camera," the local man told 麻豆传媒映画. 

"It's taken by taking >3000 photos and "stacking" the top 10 [per cent] of photos."

at 3:40AM this morning, Jupiter was very close to earth and its great red spot was facing it. I took the very best image I could (stacked top 10% of 5000 frames) to get this! thrilled about it!

Have a look at some more of the photos Metro 麻豆传媒映画locals snapped of the "once-in-a-lifetime" event. 

My son and I brought out the old survey instrument from storage to gaze at .

We could see the planet, Callisto, Io, Ganymede and Europa at about the quality in this photo. Couldn’t make out the gaseous cloud bands, but it’s still cool to see.

Lol I took a stick (raccoons) and went outside to see Jupiter and this is all I got. But hey! I won’t be alive to see it again so…
