June, The Right Time to See Jupiter's Shows in Space Only with Ordinary Binoculars. This month there are celestial shows that are very dear to us. Point our eyes to the sky, bathed in heavenly bodies.
Experts have confirmed, in June it was the right time when Jupiter demonstrated his space show.
NASA said Jupiter would be closest to Earth in June - so close that space observers would be able to observe it with the naked eye, and even some of its biggest moons using simple equipment.
"The largest planet in the solar system looks like a bright diamond only with the naked eye, but it will look fantastic through binoculars or a small telescope, which will allow you to see its four biggest moons," the agency said on its website. Some might "glimpse the cloud belt" that surrounds the planet, NASA said.
The best opportunity will occur on Monday when Jupiter, Earth, and Saturn are all on one line, an annual event called "opposition." From June 14 to 19, amateur astronomers can see the "beautiful line" of the moon, Jupiter, and Saturn, which will change every night when the moon orbits the Earth.
"When you outside admire this extraordinary trio, there are beautiful astronomical observations that you can try on your own, just by looking at the movements of the moon from night tonight," the agency said on its website.
For those who want to look from even closer distances to the giant planet in our solar system, NASA recommends visiting its website for images sent by Juno, a space vehicle currently orbiting Jupiter.
